Omar
is a sponsor child. These are his sponsors.
Dan works as a letter carrier and right now
so does Fateema. Every day around the world
Plan community volunteers like Fateema visit and deliver letters to
children from their sponsors.
This special connection is one of the joys of sponsoring a child through Plan.
Canadian sponsors look forward to writing them and sponsor children are
proud to share letters from friends overseas.
The experience has been very fulfilling like with
Nate and Lydia. We've all written letters to Omar
and it was exciting to to get a letter from him and to see his picture and I think that
they could
relate to him being a child near their age. A letter brings support
encouragement, inspiration. Letters encourage sponsored children to do well in
school and reach new heights
and in return, sponsors learn what life is like for a child in another country.
When you get a letter back, you really see the impact it's having in that
child's life
immediately, which is very gratifying.
I think that Plan is a great teaching tool just because it's
an automatic interest in something. The children have a connection to it so
right away they were asking
where's Ethiopia on a map and they wanted to know what life was like
there for a family.
Which is why Omar's family was excited when they had an opportunity to share a
special greeting with Omar's sponsors.
It is emotional because you you realize that something that you sent from here is
made it
all the way over to Ethiopia. It's impacting
on his life. I mean you just really realize it goes both ways.
We're thinking about his family and his family's thinking about us.
Developing a special connection with your sponsored child gives you a window
into a communities development through your sponsored childs eyes.
Families today spend lots of time online.
Why not go online together to meet the child you'd like to sponsor.
You'll learn about their challenges.
Share in every success. You'll be inspired by progress reports and a
new photo of your sponsored child every year.
