But for all gifts, the price listed is simply the suggested gift amount. Compassion will process any donation amount you designate for any gift category. Compassion actually has this policy in place for the protection and privacy of both the child and the sponsor. We are committed to confidentiality and privacy and can only ensure this with communication solely through Compassion. Why cant we be given information on how to directly reach and send things to our child? That is so kind and thoughtful of you to want to fulfill you child’s request for chickens.

The money part getting from point A to point B is not that complicated or time consuming or at least I don’t think it is. It is CI’s commitment to integrity to prevent funds from being misused and desire to keep administrative costs low that necessitates the money being dispersed to each project from the country office. In some countries the kids go to the project each day and in other countries due to school schedules the kids only go once a week.

The organizer is the champion for this mission across all ages and ministries within the church. My last letter from her touched me deeply- it was so grown up and the way she expressed her gratitude brought tears to my eyes! … To be able to make that much of an impact on a child you hVe never formally met is an amazing feeling! The impact made wAs through letters, sharing life stories, puctures, and always encouraging. It is your choice to give to a center or a family; however, I encourage you to continue to support families.

My child will be 10 and one of the gifts I’d like him to have is a children’s Bible. I don’t want to recommend that if he is provided with one. Sorry for all the questions but I would like my child to know I am thinking about him and plan on corresponding with him on a regular basis.

There is nothing more humbling than seeing what your children are able to buy with the monetary gifts. For example, I sent a family gift of $50 to my child in Uganda. Her family purchased a goat, shoes for the whole family, and dishes.

Do we need to print this and send it to you to re-scan, or can we submit the several page PDF directly somehow? My family just signed up to sponsor a beautiful boy Eg a few days ago. I hope you will bear with me as I have been reading through this page to try to answer some of my questions, but I do still have several.

The Compassion Cards (including MP3 download for cultivating compassion).

I just signed up today and excited to get started. I think it is going to be fun to be able to watch him grow. I have seen alot of the suggestions on what to send and that will help in sending thing’s. I’ve sent paperboard puzzles without a problem.

She got her picture of the child’s gift purchases within 2 months of sending her gift. When I called today all I was told is that the family did get the gift and that my child got the gift I sent in March finally in June. No one can tell me anything further about the family gift in Nov 2017.

I also send my girls the decorated blank paper that they can use as stationary. I also look for the more difficult books of mazes and the like and send ten pages at a time. I’ve also sent a page of English words with the equivilent word in their language, as dictionaries are not available (at least I can’t find one!) in their African language. One of them, in turn, wrote to me in ENGLISH, “May God bless you! But, you’re right, Jlynn, it IS getting harder to come up with ideas as our children are growing up.

The contents in the envelope need to be 8.x11x.25″ or smaller, the envelope goes to Compassion’s Colorado office. So it is okay if the envelope is a little bigger. Everything we send must be able to be claimed as a document. If you choose a few pages from the book that you would like to send and staple them together, we would be able to send those. If the book is not too thick (less than 1/4″), you can simply take the cover off and send it with staples. My mail won’t be going out for another few weeks while i wait for the sponsor ship packet to arrive.

🙂 When you spoke with our representative, it looks like he gave you directions on how to send her a graduation gift, which you are welcome to do, if you would like! I was also able to see that the Birthday Gift you sent her was delivered successfully. Please let us know if you have any other questions, or any issues that we can fix for you. You have a few different options for sending a monetary gift.

Most houses are constructed of cement floors, brick walls and tin roofs. The community does have access to electricity and potable water. The primary ethnic group and language is Spanish. Most of the residents in this area are from a Catholic background. I really want to send a gift, but I can send only $5 this month.

Cost to Raise $100: $14

Shipping policies vary, but many of our sellers offer free shipping when you purchase from them. Typically, orders of $35 USD or more qualify for free standard shipping from participating Etsy sellers. DIGITAL. Mercy Christmas, compassion pig. All the files you required, supplied... You can give online by credit card or an automatic debit of your bank account.

Her project is so wonderful about sending pictures, and that picture of Caroline and her goat was PRICELESS! With the same family gift, they also purchased a mattress. Caroline told me that it is the first mattress her family has ever owned and now they don’t have to sleep on the DIRT floor. I don’t think anything that I could have bought for $50 here in the US and sent in a package could compare to being able to buy a goat and a mattress and what that means to her family.

Gerry, the question at the top of the pictures, asks which do you think are acceptable to send. Then if you click on the link below the pictures, you will see that stickers are acceptable to send. Would love to see a post with pics/video of creative things that sponsors have sent that are mailable.

While you may suggest how a gift should be used, the final decision for what is needed most is made by the family with the advisement of a child development center staff member. You may want to feature an animal each week, and at the end of four weeks you will have enough to give a whole barnyard of animals to a Compassion-sponsored child. When all financial donations have been tallied, celebrate the results at a farm-themed activity.

What Can I Mail to the Child I Sponsor?

All travel outside of the United States requires a valid passport, so it is important that you don’t delay in securing this document. You may choose to go through an agency or through the post office. You can obtain a passport application and instructions on how to apply online here. Compassion arranges visits to every country where we work. You may also want to leave a little room in your luggage to bring some gifts to your child and their family.

This information is usually on your compassion.com account, or you could call. They will assign you another child once she has graduated. I would think she would have told you in your letters back and forth how far she is in school, but even if she graduated school, she hasn’t necessarily graduated Compassion yet. Please don’t drop her when she is just about to finish. I think that would be really upsetting to her.

I am unsettled about not knowing what is happening to my gifts. I am so sorry for all the confusion regarding the letter guidelines. It seems like to me that the items that you sent should all go through just fine. For confirmation, please know that the only physical items that are able to be sent are musical and pop-up cards, bookmarks and stickers.

Although many donations are given as meaningful Christmas gifts, the needs are present all year long and may be given any time for any reason. Currently, there are more than 2 million children in the Child Development Program. In order to eradicate the debilitating factors that perpetuate the cycle of poverty, we have special funds that can be used on demand to meet qualified needs. For example, your generosity gives us the agility to respond to sudden, catastrophic needs as well as routine, ancillary educational expenses or income-generating opportunities. We may be able to assist your children. Please email us at for more information.

Stickers that Unleash Adventure

Hi Shaina, I recently found books at Barnes & Noble within the size range and thickness allowed that teach kids about things like the earth/trees/plants/atmosphere/animals/etc. These books are not hard bound but I have found some I’ve sent as my child asked about snow and I found a Dr. Seuss book within the measurements and hard bound. Some sponsors may not know Compassion has an album you can buy for $5. And I have a few I’ve started where I save all my children’s letters. Regrettably, while we can send up to five coloring pages, we cannot send a full coloring book at a time. Your coloring pages also need to have a short note or letter attached on a separate sheet of paper to be sent through.

The older the kids we sponsor get, the less inclined I feel to send things I’ve always sent, like color pages, and empty paper. If you want to send special remembrances or cultural items like photos, maps, post cards, etc. it makes sense to do that. But for the cost of sending a larger gift, you could send the child some money as a gift and they could buy what they really need. Find 10 Father’s Day gift ideas that will last a lifetime!

Enter your email address to receive a regular newsletter from Compassion with inspirational stories, poverty news and more. Not so,., it says that ‘all of the above items are NOT eligible to send’. It says that NONE of these items are acceptable.

However, it definitely depends on Eg’s center and how quickly they are able to process everything. My friend still has most of her family in the Philippines and they mentioned they may be able to take a few small gifts by the center for Eg. Is this possible, and if so, is there a way for me to get the address of the center.

You are also welcome to send your sponsored child monetary gifts and he or she will get to choose something that they need or want. I have called Compassion about this and I still am not getting what I feel is a good answer. I became a sponsor in November of 2017.

They have posters with bible verses, games and mazes, coloring pages, bible stories, and science articles. Our sponsored child’s favorites are the articles about animals, which has piqued her interest in science. I do see that you sent sweet little Celeste a few gifts in March. 🙂 She should be writing you a letter indicating what she purchased with these gifts. If you do not hear back after six months of sending this gift, let us know and we are able to send an inquiry over to the field staff.

It’s possible that you would only receive two letters per year; however, children do respond to their sponsors’ letters every sixty days, so you could receive as many as five or six letters per year. You should never go more than six months without hearing from your child. How often a child attends a center depends on the age of the child and each center’s specific guidelines, but the average for each child is eight hours per week. This could be all on one day on a weekend, or split up throughout the week. You should also receive a thank-you letter and photo within six months of sending that $60 gift to your child.

So I buy French children’s books, I rip the covers off and pull apart the pages and send them with a staple in the top corner. I haven’t heard anything from Compassion so I assume they go through. I like the educational ones like about space or bees. As long as they are paper and fit within the size guidelines, you can send them to your child.
