- Types of updates sponsors will receive (letters, photos, progress reports).
We will send you updated information and an updated photo about once a year, although the frequency may vary depending on the child’s location. The typical progress report includes information about the child’s grade level in school, hobbies, and interests.
Corresponding with your sponsored child can be a delightful experience, and we encourage letter-writing between sponsors and their sponsored children. Our project volunteers will translate your letter, if necessary, and deliver it to the child you sponsor. You are welcome to write as often as you would like.
The children enjoy learning about the lives of their sponsors. Writing about your own family (children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, etc.…) is always a good place to start. The children also like to learn about your part of the world, what you do for a living, your hobbies and interests, and about any pets you may have.
- Opportunities for personal connection, like writing letters or sending birthday cards.
- How often sponsors can expect communication and updates from the child or the organization.
