the satisfaction when you help these children.

Sponsorship
What are the benefits of the Sponsoring a child?
Answer: The benefits of our sponsorship scheme are two fold. Whilst all our sponsors help support the work of the Orphanage, providing
the children with a loving environment and an education, they in turn also have the added pleasure in building a personal
relationship with their sponsored child(ren), if they so wish. This relationship is one of the most satisfying aspects of our scheme
"Helping to sponsor a child". It means a great deal to these children to know that they are special to people miles away.
How long is the sponsorship period?
Answer: There is no minimum period set for sponsors. Each year all sponsors are given the choice of whether they wish to renew their
sponsorship.
We do hope however, that our sponsors' support will be long term, as this helps the Orphanage to plan their finances more
effectively and implement projects which will be of direct benefit to all the children at the Orphanage.
What happens if you cannot continue your sponsorship?
Answer:
We appreciate the special effort that our sponsors are making in the present economic climate and understand when, through
financial reasons or other changes in circumstances, they are forced to withdraw from their sponsorship. In such situations,
support is maintained by us until new sponsors can be found.
How can you donate or pay your sponsorship fee?
Answer: Regular monthly or annual payments can be made either by sending a cheque , cashier's check or money order
along with this form.
Can you write to your sponsored child(ren)?
Answer:
Yes, we do encourage our sponsors to build a relationship with their sponsored child(ren).
Will your sponsored child(ren) have the opportunity to communicate with you?
Answer: Yes. Volunteers assist all the children with drawings and letters, just like any parent would help their child. The older children will
write their own letters. All the letters will ne translated and sent to you.
