Is sponsoring a child like adopting a child?
No, definitely not. The children who you can sponsor in Plan-affiliated communities always have families of their own. However, in the eyes of the child you sponsor, you may still play an important part in their life. As well as helping them and their community implement projects, your participation through letters and cards can inspire and encourage them. It’s amazing how messages of hope can boost children’s self-esteem and motivate them to realise their potential.
