This article illustrates the Chosen event organized by World Vision in Karawa, North-Ubangi province. Unlike the usual practices where sponsors select children, here, the children themselves had the opportunity to choose their sponsor from a photo exhibition. The event took place in a festive atmosphere, where the children took their time to select their sponsor based on the inspiration they felt from the photos. Children and their families shared this joyful and communal moment, with dancing, singing, and a communal meal at the end of the day. The impact of this activity was emphasized by the community, notably by the neighborhood chief, who expressed that this project gave more dignity to the children, positioning them not just as beneficiaries, but also as actors of their future.
