Connecting with your Sponsored Child

We encourage you to connect with your Child in order to foster a relationship that ministers to his/her heart.  Sponsorship is not simply about sending money, it's about investing in the future of a Child on multiple levels.  Your sponsored Child feels special because of your commitment, but they long for a deeper relationship with you that is possible through your expression of love through communicating via letter writing and pictures.

Listed here are guidelines for communicating:

  • Sponsors are not screened, so we must take precautions to protect our children.

  • Direct contact via email with our students is not permitted, however, you may write letters to your student and send pictures as often as you like.

  • If you would like to send a letter to your student, please,

    • Email your letter to: sponsor@suubiproject.org

  • Emailed letters will be printed off and read to your child.

  • Please print your Child's FIRST AND SECOND names clearly on all correspondence.

  • Please DO NOT put your address and/or telephone number anywhere on your correspondence.

  • Letters/Cards will be carried over to Uganda via Team Members twice a year; once with our summer team in July and again at the end of December. Instructions on how to send a letter with the team will be sent via our MailChimp email system. Please be sure you have subscribed to our newsletter.

Ideas on Letter Writing

  • Tell your Child about yourself and your family

  • Ask them questions about their Life in Uganda

  • Offer encouragement and Bible verses that are meaningful to you

  • Give them loving practical advice and wisdom

  • Draw and color pictures for younger children

  • Include photos of your family and pets in your correspondence

Remember to keep your Child's age in mind while writing to them.  Use simple/plain English and write in short/concise sentences to help them in understand your message clearly.  Our children do speak and read English, but our vocabulary differs.
