A letter to a sponsored child is a powerful thing. Recently, a surprise letter from a sponsor to their student had a huge impact.
The letter to Learning for Life student, Yvonne, age 11, arrived by post. It was a lovely surprise. The letter was jam packed with encouragement and kind words. Yvonne was thrilled. She took it to her Learning Club to show her friends and tutors. She – and all the other students – decided to write to their sponsors to show their gratitude.

The group wrote and decorated beautiful cards. They enclosed a form where they’d written their ideal jobs. “Yvonne has big dreams. She wants to be a policewoman. Or a doctor,” Yvonne’s mum Safi says.
Yvonne has been taking steps to make this dream a reality, by showing up each week for homework help that makes a lasting difference to her learning. It’s thanks to her sponsor that Yvonne can attend her Learning Club to get help with reading, writing and spelling.
