I received your message with whom I communicated the termination of support at a distance with Luis Filipe and propose in its place another child. I am frankly puzzled not to have any news, even the address, the child with whom I had established a relationship of correspondence and affection ...
Letters or phone calls like this are not uncommon: it happens that our office should communicate with one supporter, usually by phone but by email or by letter, that the sponsorship must be transferred to another child. Not all supporters, however, include the reasons are behind this action and even some break definitively support. should therefore clarify the reasons that underlie these substitutions. There is no doubt that you feel disappointment, and perhaps even pain, to learn that we no longer have contact with the child with we had established a relationship of correspondence, we retain the picture and the letters that we wrote. However, knowing the motivations that underlie the substitutions may help us better understand why this happens.
can happen that the child's family decides and transfers to another province where relatives live, looking for a job. Or it may happen that in the place where the child lives, the drought has destroyed the harvest for the second or third consecutive year. Often in such cases, the entire family migrates to another location and, if found favorable living conditions, does not come back in the place of origin. Or one parent dies and the other decides to go live with relatives, perhaps very far.
There are several causes that lead a family group to leave, forcing us to terminate the employment of support. There are cases where the family is moving in the district, and then the relationship can continue. But if the transfer takes place hundreds of miles away, you can not keep a commitment that would be expensive: consider only the costs of dislocation and the time taken.
When our leaders tell us, sadly, that the family of a child is supported at a distance away, or is about to leave, we can not help but communicate this to the supporter, suggesting the substitution of another child. It may be painful, but consider that we have accompanied for a stretch of road, the more difficult for him and our support has helped to make the future less uncertain, and we are preparing to attend another of his own age who is waiting for someone accompany him for part of his difficult journey.
