Letters to your sponsor child

July 19, 2021

It really makes a big difference in a child's life when they have a sponsor. One of the differences is that the child can go to school. If the child is given the opportunity to go to school, he has much more prospects for the future. It's easier to find a job and take care of themselves. A great opportunity to break free from poverty.

In many of our projects the children in a children's center live together with other children. This is because the parents are unable to take care of the children, to provide the children with a safe environment, or because one or both parents have lost their way.

The circumstances in which a child is born often determine the future. A sponsor has a positive influence on the children of our projects. That is why we and our projects are so incredibly grateful to our sponsors! One by one we will lift these children out of poverty.

Something that also means a lot to the child is receiving a letter or card from the sponsor. The sponsor then gets a face, a character and the children feel loved and special. Since these children are often rejected or rejected, this also helps in restoring their identity in who they are.

But what do you write to your sponsored child? is a question we often receive. “What can I talk about in my letter without hurting or hurting the child.”

Below we have listed a few examples for you. If the child asks you something, respond positively and encouragingly, that is what these children need. Safety, encouragement and love.

  • What is your favorite color (please indicate your favorite color and why)
  • What is your favorite bible text (please indicate your favorite bible text and why)
  • Tell something about the family or family situation, possibly explained with photos.
  • Tell us about your work or hobbies and ask. what your sponsored child likes to do.
  • Ask how school is going, if they have any friends, and anything about your friends.
  • Ask what you can pray for. Often the children find school difficult and it is nice to know that their sponsor is praying for them.

Below are some examples of sponsors.

We also know that one child is not the other child. We see whole texts and beautiful drawings of some children. The other child has a little more trouble expressing themselves or writing something down and may find that they can't draw very well, so they prefer not to. This is nothing personal to you! We know from experience that the children are very happy with their sponsor. They often cannot stop talking when they have received a letter and enthusiastically share it with the other children.

We would therefore like to ask you to keep writing or to send a photo or card. If your sponsor number and the child's reference number and name are on it, we can process it in our system and it will go to the correct project. If you want to do something special, we ask you to do this for all children. So that no children are favored or spoiled extra.
