I read a post this morning from 1+1+1+=1 on making a special craft for your sponsored children. It was a great idea and she also mentioned that she keeps correspondence and things needed to write to their sponsored children in a notebook. I thought this was a wonderful idea, since all our letters and drawings are in a box taking up space in the closet and never getting looked at. I set to work right away on a binder for our sponsored children.
We sponsor 3 children who live in the Dominican Republic. Two girls through World Vision and 1 boy through Dominican Advance. The couple that started Dominican Advance are friends of ours and before we moved we were able to be their home office in the states and got to help with all the paper work involved with child sponsorships and support. We got to meet the little boy we sponsor two years ago and were able to meet his mom and sisters at their home. I know they are doing great things and we are so blessed to be able to be a small part of what they are doing.
Since all of our children live in the same country, I made the binder reflect that with the flag and map on the cover. Inside I have a tab for each child, and one for the information on where to send letters. I also like the idea of keeping supplies needed to write to them, such as the right sized envelopes, in here.
I just found this blog, where she is making a craft to send and is going to post a few times a month on projects to make and is challenging all us lame sponsors to get writing to our sponsored children. I love the idea and will be posting in the future about what we are doing for our kids!
