Giving a child an education is the biggest gift you can give a child. The parents are so grateful that their children receive this opportunity.
Gifts are secondary.
I like to visit my sponsor family but you don't have to feel obliged to do so. I took a photo album for one forum member who couldn't visit. It was a great idea. She made a small album with photos of herself and her family so the sponsor child knew a little about them.
I made one also and included photos of my family and my school and the kids in my class.
Please don't hesitate it's a very cause and you get much enjoyment even if you can't visit.
