Child Sponsorship FAQ
What is included in the sponsorship?
The sponsorship includes:
Can I meet my sponsored child?
Yes, we actually encourage that you try to build a relationship with your sponsored child. Feel free to send encouraging notes, or maybe even birthday presents and/or Christmas gifts. If you are ever in Costa Rica on a mission trip or vacation, simply let us know and we will coordinate a visit for you. We do ask that you send all notes and gifts through 6:8 Ministries. This helps us maintain control and allows us to follow up with thank you notes.
How do you select the children in the program?
The children in the program are selected on criteria of financial need and their relationship with the 6:8 Ministries staff. We want to have a ministry relationship with the children and the family.
Can I check on the academic progress of my sponsor child?
Yes, all you need to do is email Ashly Cruz (ashly@68ministries.com) and she will send you a copy of the most current report card for your sponsored child.
