Still going strong

- Our Google Group, that is. Children International’s Google Group is a great place for sponsors to mingle with other sponsors and chat about their experiences. Group members are asking questions about special donations and visits, making suggestions on how to better improve the sponsorship experience, sharing personal stories and giving tips on fun items to include in letters to their sponsored children. Proud sponsors are even sharing their children’s pictures.

It’s your own little space on the web dedicated specifically to what interests you - helping children through Children International. And the best thing is you run the show. (We just chime in occasionally to answer your questions.) If you’d like to see what the buzz is all about and become a group member, just click on “Join this group” on the right column of our Google Groups homepage. If you need help, drop us a line at blog@children.org. Until then, happy browsing!

Get Google Grouping!

Got something to say about sponsorship? A question that’s been rolling around in your head for while? Maybe you’re just interested to see what other sponsors are thinking. Why not check out the new Children International Google Group for sponsors?

The group page has been up for a little over a week now, and the response has been great. We’re starting out small, but our few dedicated sponsors have so many things to share. Some of the discussion topics include visiting your sponsored child, letters, special donations and even ideas to help sponsor more children.

Become a member of Children International’s Google Group today, and see what everyone’s talking about. Just click "Join this group" on the right side of the screen. We hope to see you there.

Had Your Hand Up for Awhile?

We love moderating the blog and taking advantage of the opportunity it gives us to communicate more directly with our sponsors. And because we enjoy it so much, we couldn't help but wonder if some of our readers wouldn't like to have a chance to speak up as well.

So we thought we'd just ask.

Would any of you be interested in joining a Google Group for Children International sponsors? If you're not familiar with Google Groups, they are forums that join people with common interests and allow them to conduct threaded discussions.

If enough of you find this interesting, we'll make it happen. So please tag in, leave us a comment and let us know. In fact, we'll need you to contact us at blog@children.org and give us an email address so we can send you an invitation to join the group.

We're standing by!
