SPONSORSHIP |
|||||
Our sponsorship scheme is unique in the region, The sponsorship money, £12.50 per month, goes directly to the Kalinkovichi Education Department Budget and is then distributed to the children in the form of improved school meals. Any money left over goes directly to the family twice a year in the form of goods beneficial to the child such as dried foods, clothes, winter boots and vitamins. This unique scheme took 2 years to set up in such a way that 100% of the sponsorship money gets to the child. The local government were immensely helpful. In just eleven years since CCIN started, the number of sponsored children has gone from one to over 300. All the main school children benefit from improved school meals, and at present (April 2011) about half of the kindergarten are sponsored. |

This scheme is so successful that it is now used as an example to other schools and NGO's on how beneficial sponsorship schemes can be if all parties work together. The left photo shows a food parcel just delivered to a low income wage family. |

Left is Dasha, one of the sponsored children at the Ozarichi Kindergarten. She is a happy child even though she has numerous medical ailments. Children at the Kindergarten receive 3 small meals a day. We have always thought the staff there are very caring and promote a happy conducive atmosphere.

You can write to your sponsored child if you wish .Someone who is visiting Ozarichi can take an envelope or small package(large envelope),or a letter can be translated and scanned to our Agent in Ozarichi. They love to hear from their sponsor, everything is interesting for them, photos of your house, your pets, family etc, or postcards of where you live. We have found the Belarusian postal service to be very unreliable, mail in english writing can be opened or not delivered at all, so we have to try other ways! You can send a present/box of gifts if you wish. These would be put on our lorries that go over twice a year usually, but the drawback is the delay in distribution, which is due to bureaucracy. It can be 3 months after arrival that everything gets to its named recipient, so you need to take that into account. This method saves a lot of postage, and is virtually guaranteed to be secure. So far we have had very few problems. |
