sponsorship

What’s child sponsorship? It is not an actual adoption: there’s no legal link between the Italian families and a sponsored child and a child isn’t uprooted from his/her own culture. With the help of a sponsor, a child can make his/her future.

How long will a sponsor be committed? There’s no time limit. As long as the financial support goes on, the sponsorship will go on—but it’s more on a moral basis than on a bureaucratic one.

Can a group be a sponsor? Yes, of course. Lots of school classes, work committees, companies, and even flat councils have agreed. Even in this case, the schools or groups will be sent news about the sponsored child. Scruple and competence in sponsorship mean solidarity and raise great expectations. Supporting education isn’t a meaningless gift, passively received, maybe with shame and silence; on the contrary, it’s a multiplying gift. By offering help on a local basis you will respect people’s culture and won’t make them leave their culture, homes, language, and traditions.
