The Children of KAF know that they are being sponsored and are very proud of their sponsorship. They love to hear from their sponsors and are excited to know that they have someone out there supporting them, praying for them, and rooting them on. Be encouraging, tell them about you, your family, special holiday or family events, Bible verses, prayers, and most importantly ask questions. Encourage your child to write back or draw pictures for you if they’re too young to write.
Please be sensitive to their economic situation. Many of our children live very minimally so please avoid discussing the material aspects of your life. Try not to send photos that show your possessions. Please do not share your home address, email address, or telephone numbers. Remember, your child lives in a very different culture so using colloquialisms and slang will be confusing for them…or perhaps unintentionally offensive. Also, do not promise to visit or send them things.
