I have sponsored my child Archie, from the Philippines for over six years now and I find it to be the most rewarding experience of my life. I love that boy as if he were my own. I only wish I could do more. I pray to God every night that He grant me a miracle to be able to visit Archie. I have watched him grow from a little boy of 6 years old to a young man of 13. I thank God each night for C.I. and for the chance to sponsor such a magnificent young man. Would love to see what goes on at the actual centers such as Legaspi City, Philippines also. Your hard work and dedication is greatly appreciated by all I am sure. God bless all of you.

I often wondered just what all goes into handling all these letters! :D I know I look forward to each and every one of the letters I get from each of my sponsored children - they help me feel so much more connected to them and make my day! I would also love to see what goes into getting and delivering each package we send directly over to the field offices for our children (I send to both the Philippines and Ecuador). It would also be interesting to see a typical day at one of the field offices from a child's point of view. (How often do they actually visit the field offices?) Thanks again! Keep up the good work! We all really appreciate it! :D (And enjoy the coffee!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260653480605721255.post-92015146163472939962007-05-02T13:14:00.000-05:002007-05-02T13:14:00.000-05:00I really look forward to the letters I receive fro...I really look forward to the letters I receive from my children. The letters and photos are what makes sponsorship so special to me vs just sending money into a charity and hoping that it reaches the intended receipients. The relationship is special and I can see and read firsthand from the child how they are benefiting from my sponsorship of them.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for all you do to make these friendships possible!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260653480605721255.post-36189695280282056832007-05-02T08:44:00.000-05:002007-05-02T08:44:00.000-05:00I agree.

Managing the letters, distributing the sponsor contributions, working with the field staff, are activities that must require phenomenal talent and dedication. Getting to know the CI staff in KC as well as in each country would help personalize the entire process. Everyone does such a great job from the President on down, getting to know who does what would add more to the sponsorship experience. Just as a sponsored child becomes like family for us, the CI staff could become like extended family. Thanks for everything you do!evergreen3https://www.blogger.com/profile/14105346948636103090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260653480605721255.post-49866414832575395522007-05-02T07:48:00.000-05:002007-05-02T07:48:00.000-05:00Love the personal touch..putting CI faces on the w...Love the personal touch..putting CI faces on the website definitely makes me feel more connected!<BR/><BR/>Do more of this too....let us know about the staff at headquarters and all their hard work on our behalf! It would be great to see photos and read about other operations at CI.<BR/><BR/>THANKS to the Letter Ladies for their AMAZING work. I can't even imagine handling that much mail each month!<BR/><BR/>You all are INCREDIBLE..keep up the fabulous work keeping us connected with our kids!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
