Friends of Hope
A child in Colombia needs you.
What does being a Friend of Hope mean?
- A Friend of Hope sponsor supports a child in one of our schools in Colombia
- You can support your sponsored child through ongoing encouraging communication, constant prayer and even, if you are able to, visit your sponsored child and their family in Colombia!
- Your financial support of US$36.00 a month, ensures a child living in poverty will be given the tools and education to help themselves and their families break the chains of poverty.
- Your support not only helps a child, you’re working alongside Conviventia’s team of teachers, psychologists, pastors, nurses, social workers, and more as we combat cyclical poverty with a whole family to ensure a chance and a hope for a better future.
Once I’ve received my child’s bio & welcome package, what’s next?
Because letters need to be translated and follow a certain process, you can expect to receive the first letter from your child about 4 weeks (at the latest) from the time of making your commitment. However, the moment you have chosen to sponsor a child and she/he is assigned to you is the moment this child is ready to hear from you! Through letters, pictures, and gifts, you confirm your commitment that someone on the other side of the world cares about their future. Your communication will make a big difference in your sponsored child’s life. You will receive reports and updates on your child’s progress, as well as letters and drawings from them. We encourage sponsors to treasure these tokens of love and gratitude in the same way our students do, often displaying the photos and letters their sponsors send them in their homes.
The frequency of your communication and level of involvement in your sponsored child’s life is up to you, but we recommend you reach out to them periodically with at least a small message. We can also arrange for you to come visit your sponsored child and meet their family if you one day wish to do so!
Don’t know what to write/talk about? No worries!
Your welcome package will share ideas and suggestions that will inspire you and help make your communication easy, as well as provide more key details on the do’s and don’ts, the how’s and the when’s for it all!
What can sponsoring a child mean for you?
Who better to answer this question than your peers! Some of our awesome sponsors have decided to share their stories with you:
We work within the Colombian regulatory framework, having a high level of responsibility for each child brought to Conviventia by their family; therefore, Conviventia does not promote activities or engagements outside of the structured program, nor do we allow the sharing or publication of details about the child/children until after a commitment to sponsorship has been made.
Help break cycles of poverty. Become a Friend of Hope today.
