Dollars really go far in the third world – she chose a beautiful bike with carrier platform, a lock, long-sleeve tee shirt, slippers, and a backpack. Her center sends photos, and Yesica was just beaming. She says now she is never late to the student center, and she can take her little sister on the back to drop her off at her elementary school. But, just as a child who does not receive a letter from their sponsor may be upset or jealous of another child who does, gifts can cause the same issue- no matter what preventions are taken.
I am SUPER excited because I just sent my first letter to my sponsored child in Peru! I’m a Spanish teacher and this sponsorship is part of their service learning project in Spanish. They’ve drawn pictures and written their favorite scriptures to encourage him. Why am I not receiving any pictures of my two sponsored children other than a yearly photo? I would like to see more pictures of them. As always, join our Second Friday Letter Writing Club collaborative board on Pinterest to share you letter-writing ideas and get ideas from other sponsors.

Thank you for asking these great questions! Please let us know if there’s anything else we can do for you. Gift giving amounts are still $10 to $100 for children and $25 to $1000 for the family each year.
A visit is a very exciting event and a day you will never forget. It is completely normal to feel a little nervous. Mosquito nets save families from the threat of malaria, the #1 cause of death in many nations.
All You Need Is Love, Adult Long Sleeve Tee, Great Gift with Inspirational Mantra
My boyfriend lives in Ukraine and bought a computer from the US, had it shipped to me, and then I shipped it as “electronics parts” because odds are an iMac wouldn’t make it. Besides that, Compassion clears every item not only for size and shape, but for appropriateness. Not all sponsors are Christians or share Compassion’s standards, and even if they do, there are specific cultural considerations that sponsors may not be aware of. A certain item that we would consider harmless might be offensive to your child’s family. What Sarah meant was that you are welcome to send child gifts of $10-$100 up to two times a year.
Yes, each of the children receive the same amount through the Christmas Gift Program. At the end of October every year, we count up all of the donations we’ve received for the Christmas Fund and then divide the total equally among all of the children in our programs. In past years, it has come out to $15 to $20 per child which is why we recommend $20. We explain that if you give more than the recommended amount, you are giving to help provide a gift for a child who may not have a sponsor or their sponsor was unable to give this year.
Can I Send This Gift to My Sponsored Child?
For that one, I used a 9 X 12 inch envelope, put the cover on the front, and then divided the book in half. I put our id info on both parts of the book, and then I taped the two halves to a piece of cardstock so they wouldn’t bunch together in the envelope. That way both parts were mailed together and would be under the 1/4′ thickness. Hello, what is the maximum contribution limit per family/child per year? Your FAQs and blog posts do not seem to indicate what this is — only that I have reached mine? I want to send a Family Gift, but after reading the following I’m not so sure if I should still send a family gift.
Education can make such a big difference in a child’s life, and we certainly want Eg to have the best opportunities possible. Yes, when you send a final gift, your student can choose to put some of your donation in savings or use it to help with further schooling or other needs. The final gift is a little more open ended than other gifts, meaning that we are not able to send confirmation of how the gift was used.
We recommend filling a backpack for your sponsored child. This is a good measure of items to take and is convenient. Keep in mind that Compassion children are from areas where basic needs are pressing.
We’re very excited to correspond with our sponsored child in Indonesia, and your suggestions really help get the ball rolling. I have had my older children thank me just for writing to them in a greeting card as they don’t have them in their country. Gifts from this catalog will not go directly to your sponsored child. Compassion staff at each of our centers work to identify Compassion-assisted children and their families with the highest needs. We want to be sure that your gifts through this catalog will go to the children and families who need them most.
The more often you write to your sponsor kids, they may write back more often. Of course, sometimes they do not- letter writing may not be a popular cultural pastime, the child may be too busy, or may feel that he or she doesn’t have much to say. But as your relationship with your sponsor child grows, there’s a good chance you will receive more than the required letters per year. I am so sorry that this letter puzzled and confused you, as I am sure it would! Regrettably, I don’t have the ability to tell what it was that queued that letter to you.
I am on a mission to find items to mail to my children and having fun doing it! Michael’s carries $1 leaflets of pictures and at the bottom are paint colors. Also Hobby Lobby carries packs of paper items within the size range that can be colored saying ‘Jesus loves Me’ . The Christian Book Store has books 4 1/2 x 5 1/2″ for$1.50 and larger ones for $3.99. I am looking for a world map within the size allowed.
You also can ask her in a letter how she is doing in school. Perhaps she graduated high school and is receiving assistance from Compassion to learn a trade such as sewing, jewerly making, etc. to become self-supporting economically. CI regularly ensures that beneficiaries are still in need of CI’s support. I had a child leave the program when the family became financially self-sufficient. In regards to Christmas Gifts, it is completely up to you as far as how you would like to give.
Mail orders should factor in the time it takes for us to receive the order in our offices, typically three to five days. While we’ve attempted to base gift amounts on average amounts requested to help children in our program, these are truly suggested gift amounts. We deeply appreciate any gift amount given. The world is facing the largest global food crisis since World War II, and for many Compassion families, the most urgent need is food.
