A letter from Save the Children
I received the following today:
Dear Mr. Hicks,
Thank you! By sponsoring Sarah Alea for several months now, your generousity combined with the support of others is helping to bring real changes to the lives of children in Satrah's community.
But your sponsorship has done even more! By letting Sarah know someone cares, you've sent so much more than your financial support - you've sent hope and encouragement. To a child in poverty, that gift can mean more than you can imagine.
Building a relationship with your sponsored child is one of sponsorship's richest rewards. Will you tell Sarah a little more, so that she can know you better?
By filling out the enclosed brochure, you will be telling your sponsored child just a little bit about who you are, what you like to do, your family - just some basic information. Of course the information is voluntary - but you'd be amazed at how overjoyed Sarah will be to receive a special message from you! Time and Time again, I've seen children in the remote villages proudly display such notes and cards from thier sponsors - they are truely prized possessions!
So please take a just a few moments to complete the enclosed brochure, and return it to your sponsored child's field office in the envelope provided. Be sure to check with your local post office to calculate postage needed.
You're beginning an exciting journey! We want to make sure your sponsorship is a rewarding, meaningful experience, so please call Sponsor Services at 1-800-SAVETHECHILDREN (1-800-728-3843) or 203-221-4030 if you have any questions or concerns.
Sarah already knows you're a person who cares. Now, you can help Sarah really begin to know you!
With thanks for all you have done for children,
Charles F. MacCormack
President
