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

There is another guy who sometimesposts here and he is sponsoring three kids thru these people right now. He is happy with them.
It looks like i had better find them and see whatis up with their activity in this area.
This gentleman will be heading this way in about a month, so if you want to compare notes, please send me an e-mail and I'll get you two into contact....
