Write to my child
Communicating to your child opens their world and lets them know that someone loves and cares for them. This not only builds their self-esteem, but encourages them to do well in school and emphasizes a relationship of prayer. The smile on the face of each child that receives a letter is priceless!
Letters will be delivered each time we visit the school. The schedule for these visits is listed below. Please send your letter to us at least 2 weeks in advance. Write or type your letter and place it in an envelope with the name of your child on the outside of the envelope. Each letter will be translated for the child to read. You can include pictures of yourself or your family. Because of limited luggage space, we ask that you only write letters and not send gifts.
