Thank you so much for this post, the information shared was very interesting. What a tremendous blessing the Compassion staff in Ghana are to both the sponsors and the sponsored children.

The letters we receive from Ghana are exceptional — they truly go the extra mile, and we do not take that for granted. Thank you beyond measure, for all that you do!

I so appreciate being directed to this blog by a wonderful woman at CI. Though my precious child lives in Rwanda, this gives me a great understanding of how the process works and has answered so many of my questions. Please let Nana Kojo know just how deeply we appreciate how personally he approaches his work! I wish I knew the name of the “Nana Kojo” in Rwanda, as I’d love to send a letter of appreciation! I’m so glad that God has recently led me to support the work of CI, as I am truly astounded by their dedication and expertise at making every dollar count for so much more than I could ever imagine and their organizational skills with which this is accomplished. God bless each and every one of you involved with CI and the Developmental Centers. We love you all.

God bless each of you volunteers who serve the Lord by serving the children and sponsors. Thank you Nana Kogo and the others for your time and love. May God reward you with blessing after blessing and provide you with grace to continue. This information has been so helpful for me.

Thank you so much for enlightening us on how the letter writing process works. We are so blessed to have sponsored a young man in Ghana. My husband used to travel there for work so we wanted to sponsor a child there since he had a connection to that country.

We are blessed that Evans write back to us after every letter we send to him. He is very inquisitive and answers our questions and has many questions of his own!

God Bless all of the workers who are associated with Compassion. You are surely angels doing God’s work.

I have just recently sponsored a 12 year old girl from Ghana so I was very interested in this post. The sponsor of another girl in the same project as mine said that she receives a letter for each letter that she sends. I’m pretty excited about that, since my other children don’t write but a few times a year.

Thank you for this information about the letter writing process. We have sponsered a child for many years and have had the same questions about the responses of our sponsored child. This commentary hits our concerns on the head. We thank the Lord for the privilage of loving a child through Compassion International and now even better understand the process. God bless.

I am so happy to read this article! It is a pleasure and God’s blessing to see these children work so diligently on learning to write and communicate to their sponsors and correspondents, and to learn to write for themselves especially.
Thank you Nana Kojo, for all of your extended and beautiful efforts and doing God’s service.
Also, now I know how to write to my Tanzanian child even better, now that someone at Compassion International told me the time frame and all the efforts that go into the letter writing/sponsorship/correspondence process. Thanks to all the people in the Compassion International organization. You all have beautiful hearts and are God’s blessing to the children and participants and the world!

Wow! I had no idea the amount of work that went into writing letters! Thank you to Nana Kojo and all of the others who assist our children in letter-writing! It is a reminder of how very different our children live from the way we do.

While on a tour to the Dominican Republic and to Bolivia I was able to see how letters from sponsors were handled and also the letters back to the sponsors. It gave me a better understanding of how much goes into the letter writing and delivery and why it is so important to write the children as often as possible. If i have not received a letter from one of my children in at least two months, then I will write a letter to them. I would like to do it monthly but don’t always get the chance. When I get a letter back I usually respond within a week to two weeks, no longer. Sometimes these letters are all the children have to show them someone in another country truly cares about them. I include post cards, pictures to color, stickers and anything flat that they might enjoy. I am going to try something new with my next letters, little foam animals, people, flowers, birds, etc., that are flat enough to go through the system.
