At our schools, our qualified teaching staff and low teacher-to-student ratio provide an education that is above and beyond what these children would normally be able to receive. In addition, sponsored children receive daily, a hot lunch and regular Biblical instruction from our Bible teachers and social workers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>IS THERE A PREFERRED DONATION METHOD FOR SPONSORSHIP?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Monthly bank drafts are the best way to donate for your sponsorship since the processing fees for the ministry are a fraction of the cost of credit card fees. Plus, bank accounts change less frequently than credit cards, requiring less follow up\u2014and that means our staff can focus more time on what we love doing most: caring for the children of Zambia.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CAN I WRITE TO MY SPONSORED CHILD?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Absolutely! To write a letter to your sponsored child, simply login to your Family Legacy account at <a href=\"https:\/\/give.familylegacy.com\/login\">https:\/\/give.familylegacy.com\/login<\/a>. From there, click on the \u201cMy Sponsored Children\u201d link and then click the icon at the far right of your child\u2019s name to send a message to your sponsored child. They love to receive letters from their sponsors!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CAN I SEND GIFTS TO MY SPONSORED CHILD?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While we appreciate the heart and intention behind sponsors wanting to give gifts to their sponsored children, we have found that there are various problems that arise with this. Since these children live in a very survivalist and competitive culture, a gift from their sponsor can often put a target on their back that results in theft or bullying. In can also create an atmosphere of comparison, jealousy, and perceived favoritism that detracts from the focus of our mission. Prayers, letters, love, and encouragement \u2013 and sponsorship \u2013 are the gifts your child most urgently needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHAT DOES A SPONSORSHIP PROVIDE?
