How much time do Sponsors need to spend with the kids and what kinds of things do they do with them?
This is a very flexible area. The amount of time and kinds of activities depend on the interests and available time of the Sponsor. One Sponsor, who knew the Dreamers before they became Dreamers, spends some time every week with the group or with individual students. She takes a group of them out to dinner each Monday when possible. On holidays, she may take some swimming or hiking or to the movies. It is a good way to keep in touch with the kids. Other Sponsors have spent time with the kids at special functions, such as a holiday or graduation party or at meetings with the PC or parents.
