How do I write my sponsored child?
You may want to get to know your sponsored child more personally by exchanging letters. Here are a few helpful tips about corresponding.
When writing your letter, it's important to consider your sponsored child's environment and culture. For example, it’s best not to write about the things you own since your child might have very few possessions. Feel free to share about your family, friends, and interests. You can always include a colorful postcard or photo, which your sponsored child will treasure.
Preparing correspondence:
Three easy steps!
1. On the front of your envelope, write World Vision's national country office address. This address can be found to the right of your sponsored child's photo and is available online.
2. Write your name and return address on the back flap of your envelope. On the lower portion of the envelope, write your sponsored child's name and ID number. (Please do not write the child's name and ID number on the front of the envelope.) Here's an example of where to find your child's ID number.
3. On your letter, write the child's name and ID number at the top of the page. Your child will write back via their local World Vision office; to avoid confusion and to protect your identity, please do not write your address on your letter.
Please do not enclose your monthly sponsorship gift or any cash with your correspondence. In some countries it is actually against the law to possess American money. If you wish to tuck something special into the envelope along with your letter, please follow these guidelines:
