Lay Lay is happy to hear from her sponsor Greeting Cards World Vision designs Christmas and Chinese New Year cards every year for you to send to your sponsored child. A Christmas card sent by her sponsor from Hong Kong totally amazed Lay Lay Paw, an 8-year-old girl in Myanmar. It was her first Christmas card, and she had never seen such a colourful card before. She has kept the card in her schoolbag ever since.

Correspondence Child Sponsorship Programme not only improves the life of your sponsored child but also changes yours. Through correspondence, you can build a close and unique relationship with your child. Ms Heidi Kong, a child sponsor, visited her sponsored child, Xiao Zhun. "When I sponsored Xiao Zhun, she was just eight years old. Her father used to write the letters for her. Now, Xiao Zhun is 12 years old, and she always writes to me herself. I am delighted to see her grow up healthy and get a chance for education," she says.
