As Christmas approaches, don&rsquo;t forget to also <a href=\"\/sponsorship-news-stories\/packed-love-sending-letters-packages-sponsored-child\">connect with your sponsored child<\/a>, blessing them with the knowledge that you&rsquo;re thinking about them. Here&rsquo;s how!<\/p>\n<h2>Email a letter.<\/h2>\n<p>The simplest way to write your sponsored child is by emailing them a letter through My World Vision. We&rsquo;ve made it even easier for you to connect with our <a href=\"\/mywv-mobile-app\">new My World Vision app<\/a>, which you can use anywhere you go. Write your sponsored child a letter right in the app, and for the first time ever, track your message to see where it&rsquo;s at in the process of being delivered. You&rsquo;ll also get more frequent updates about the different trainings and programs your sponsored child&rsquo;s family participates in, making this a great way to stay connected year-round!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_78447\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-78447\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-78447 lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"Janvie, a former sponsored child with World Vision in the Philippines, now sponsors a child himself, speaks publicly advocating for child rights, and works for the World Economic Forum.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2021\/10\/W310-0516-063.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2021\/10\/W310-0516-063-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2021\/10\/W310-0516-063-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2021\/10\/W310-0516-063-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2021\/10\/W310-0516-063.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-78447\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(&copy;2018 World Vision\/photo by Robert Coronado)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When <a href=\"\/sponsorship-news-stories\/full-circle-how-former-sponsored-child-became-child-sponsor\">Janvie<\/a>, 27, was a sponsored child in the <a href=\"\/our-work\/country-profiles\/philippines\">Philippines<\/a>, letters from his sponsor meant so much. He says, &ldquo;[Up to] last year, I was still reading that letter. I can still remember the first line she wrote: &lsquo;I am sorry that it took me a while to send you a letter, but please keep in mind that you are in my heart.&rsquo;&rdquo; She also promised she was praying for him. &ldquo;If not for her praying for me and supporting me through the sponsorship program, I couldn&rsquo;t imagine the kind of life I&rsquo;d have right now,&rdquo; Janvie says. He now works as a consultant for the World Economic Forum and credits <a href=\"\/sponsorship-news-stories\/facts-about-how-child-sponsorship-works\">World Vision child sponsorship<\/a> for where he is today &mdash; and he sponsors a child himself now too!<\/p>\n<h2>Mail a package.<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to go a step further, create a Christmas package for your sponsored child. Gifts must fit in a small envelope, no larger than 9 by 12 inches, so some great options to include are stickers, balloons, coloring books, colored pencils, postcards of your home region, and photos of you or your family. You can get the mailing address in your <a href=\"https:\/\/mywv.worldvision.org\/my\/\">My World Vision account<\/a>. Due to the ongoing <a href=\"\/disaster-relief-news-stories\/what-is-coronavirus-facts\">COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>, be sure to check with the post office about any mail restrictions to your child&rsquo;s country.
