By George Smith


Compassion is a universal need and everyone can benefit from any form of support that is offered by the various channels that society has instituted.

First, you have to write encouragement and words of affection. Validation is something that everyone has to lean on. It becomes even more imperative if your Uganda Child Sponsorship beneficiary has been rescued from very dire and stressful circumstances. The knowledge that someone cares for them could offset any feelings of unworthiness and rejection that may have arisen from their original environment.

Share them your favorite verse from the New Testament. Alternatively, you could use words from the Bhagavad Gita or Tao Te Ching, but in the event that they are now under custody of Christian elders, copying a really encouraging snippet from sacred scriptures can boost any insecurities they might have. The belief in a higher power is often a source of empowerment and a foundation for being able to live life to the fullest.

Pose some questions when you write. Display an interest and ask them how their current situation is going.

At times, it may take lengthy periods for them to read and express themselves. With time, however your ink inspired presence will challenge them to boost their skills in literacy and may even spark an interest in reading books.

Your messages are greatly treasured even if the kids do not bring it up. Testimonies of beneficiary youth have shown that their supporters were great causes for a stronger emotional and psychological and emotional strength. Your spiritual admonitions may even spur them onward to move on from past experiences. They increase their self esteem and start actualizing their full potential.

Refrain from using jargon or colloquialisms. Always keep their culture and current language capacities in mind. Make sure to proof read and scrutinize your own message and see if all your scribblings would make sense to the youngster. You need not worry about their comprehension if they are accompanied by reliable teachers and guardians. In time, their vocabularies will increase.

Carefully consider any specific topics you would like to learn from more. Ask the youngster of any challenges she may have while studying. Get ready to offer help around these areas and to inform the facilitators about any issues that are discussed as you pose the queries.

Introduce your family to them. This leaves you open and a bit vulnerable like everyone else. If they know that you have very close social ties with those around them, the more they would open up to you and be forthcoming every time you send messages. Remember to always be sincere and to try and see the world through their eyes.
