I sponser a child in Central America, and it’s kind of neat. I send $15 a month, and they use it to provide food, health care and clothing for him and his family. ( BTW, I am sure the Teeming Millions know how these things work) I get pictures from him, and the occasional letter, which I trust is translated accurately because I don’t read Spanish. $15 is a pitance to me, but it makes a difference there. I feel good about doing it. I have just one small question:
If I’m sponsoring this kid, how come he dosen’t have my logo on his shirt?
