I'm sorry about the loss of your first sponsored child; I am waiting to hear the status of one of my girls in DR, as her living situation had changed, taking her far from her project. When I saw her and her mother in October, she was not getting to her project often and was at real risk of being pulled out by her mother. I urged her mother not to do that, and to do all that she could to keep Maria in the program.<BR/><BR/>I heard not long ago that all of our countries were on a letter-for-letter program, now. A year ago, or more, I had a list of 9 such countries, but supposedly, all are now up to speed, with that. However, I'm not convinced it's really happening in all of the countries where I have children. Tanzania must have been ahead of most, when I first began sponsoring at the end of 2002, as I have always received 5 or 6 letters a year from Tausi--even when I sent more, which I surely did. It may be that not all projects in all countries stay on top of it as well as others; I don't know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7463288127821447651.post-16216808637896702442008-12-02T17:50:00.000-08:002008-12-02T17:50:00.000-08:00Thank you, Andrea! :)Thank you, Andrea! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7463288127821447651.post-67397774325927987212008-12-01T18:17:00.000-08:002008-12-01T18:17:00.000-08:00Elly,All Compassion projects will slowly move to a...Elly,<BR/>All Compassion projects will slowly move to a response letter system. They want to improve the communication between sponsors and the children.<BR/><BR/>Burkina Faso, Bolivia, Peru, Tanzania, El Salvador and Uganda (according to a post here - http://blog.compassion.com/do-things-differently/) are countries who have changed to a response letter format.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905622362951259801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7463288127821447651.post-16757210323677715082008-12-01T17:55:00.000-08:002008-12-01T17:55:00.000-08:00hello-i was just curious about your girl in burkin...hello-<BR/><BR/>i was just curious about your girl in burkina faso who you said writes you letters whenever she wants.
