Hillbilly,
I have sponsered a child for quite a few years through Children International. This child lives in Santiago. Supposedly there are on site workers who use the money to develop programs, schooling, etc for the sponsored children.
My question is: Have you ever heard of this organization in your area, and, if so, are they at all effective in what they do?
We are not allowed to send gifts to the child or her family. We may send money to the organization and "they" will purchase "reasonable" gifts for the child/community. It makes me wonder.
Thanks,
Mainer
