it begins when you write a letter. greeting your sponsored child and sharing stories about your life and words of encouragement. your letter is emailed or mailed to plan's toronto office where it is logged, reviewed, and packaged up to
How To Address A Letter In Canada, send to the field office. letter are sent by air to the planfield office closest to your sponsored childs home. sometimes it takes more than one flight toget there.
next, field staff translate your letter into your sponsored child's language, and then bundle it with other letters to be delivered to children in the same community. plan staff leave the field office to deliver letters and make their way through busy urban streets. they travel along rural roads, often in poor condition. many plan communities are located in remote areas and it can take staff almost a full day to arrive in a community where your sponsored child lives.
when the letters are handed to the community volunteer, it's an exciting moment for children living in the community. children often crowd around so they can feel apart of the action. the volunteer sets off to deliver the letters to sponsored children. volunteers almost always travel by foot and it can take several hours to reach everyone. after travelling thousands of kilometers by air, car andon
foot, your letter is delivered to your sponsored child almost twelve weeks after you wrote it. good things take time. neighbouring children want to see the letter too. everyone's excited. this volunteer continues to deliver letters, while the children tag along. at the next house, another sponsored child reads her treasured letter. the volunteer is there to help if there are any
questions. when this young girl was asked what it's like to receive a letter from her sponsor, she said it makes me feel very happy to know that someone is remembering me from so far away.
