Everything you ever wanted to know about sending letters to your kid

Letters are a BIG DEAL and sponsors and kids alike love to hear from each other. Each year, 850,000-plus letters pass through CI. That’s about 2,330 per day! Letters are received in the mail or via our website and travel 8,000 miles to our agencies, where they are translated by our team before being distributed. Field staff travel by plane, bus, train, boat, bicycle or on foot into the communities to deliver letters. Sponsored kids read the letters and schedule a time to write back to you, and the process is repeated in reverse! Send a note to your sponsored kid now by going online and using our writing templates and cards. Share what’s going on with your life and remember to ask questions. Sponsored kids also love to receive photos, so don’t forget to include photos with your message!
