CORRESPONDING WITH YOUR CHILD
When sending an email to your sponsored child, please keep a few things in mind:
- Please make sure that personal information like email addresses, last names, mailing addresses, etc. are not put into letters between you and your child. For security and privacy reasons, we would like to make sure that personal information does not get passed around or does not put you or your family's information at risk.
- We will collect all letters from the sponsors to the children once a month to take them to the schools. If you would like to send an email letter, it is best to do it at the end of the month so you make sure to get it in before we print them around the first of each month.
- We will try to get responses from the children as soon as possible, but it might be a few weeks before you hear back from them, especially if you have sent your email near the beginning or middle of the month.
- All emails back and forth between children and sponsors will be approved by the administrator of the database site before the letter is sent. This is to protect both the children and sponsors from privacy infringement and to make sure the information contained in the letter is acceptable.
We have an online student database that has information about your child in a profile that you can view anytime. This system is wonderful and provides so many ways to keep informed about your sponsored child. It also provides you with your own profile where you can edit information, and more.
Your child's profile displays their name, birthday, favorite subjects, the languages they speak as well as information about their home
If you are currently sponsoring a child and your automatic donation payment information changes at any point, we can easily change that for you. If you have a new credit card number, checking account number, expiration date, or change of personal information, please let us know. We can access the payment information through our online portal. Just call us at (800)513-1625 and we will be happy to update your payment profile. If you call after office hours, feel free to leave the new information on our private voicemail system. Your information will be secure and will be retrieved by our financial officer the next day and deleted once it has been changed. You may also click the button below and fill in the donation form with your new credit card or account information. Thank you for your sponsorship of our ministry! We appreciate your generosity.
