I usually staple or use paper clips to attach it to my letters but some people have used baggies or sheet organizers. Be sure it meets the size limitations- 8.5 x 11 and 1/4 thickness.

Attn: Child Correspondence Dept. Compassion International Colorado Springs, CO 80997-0004 Just make sure you have your child's number and your sponsor number somewhere on the sticker packet. Or you can put them in a separate envelope and put the child and sponsor numbers on the front. Hi Maryann — Yes, they go to the regular Compassion address.

It is made from the bottom portion of a folder (so it would have pockets and be slightly more durable than card stock or construction paper) It is decorated with stickers and her name and the pages are made of wax paper and its stapled together. Will this go thru? the back has a bar code on it, do that matter?? It is cut to about half the size of the folder. I want to send it soon if I can. I made a cute sticker book for my little girl.

I am also new to Compassion. I signed up at a women's conference back in Nov. You won't believe what it does to your heart to receive your first letter. I was so happy I almost cried. And just to think that I am helping this child have a better life is a blessing in its self. I have been so blessed to be a part of Compassion. I couldn't believe that I had never even heard of CI before Nov. May God bless you in all that you do for your Compassion child..................................Kathy Katie I want to congratulate you on becoming a Compassion sponsor. I am also new to Compassion.
