SPONSORSHIP
FAQ'S
By
becoming a child sponsor, you can make a lasting difference
for not only one child, but also for his and her brothers
and sisters at the Marsh Children’s Home
by providing access to basic necessities. Here are some
frequently asked questions about child sponsorship:
Q: What is child sponsorship and how does it
work?
A: As a sponsor, you will be connected to one special
child who will know your name, write to you, and experience
your care in tangible ways. And you will help change
the life of your sponsored child by enabling him or
her to better themselves with a proper education and
have a home where they are cared for. The caring commitment
of sponsors like you allows the Marsh Children’s
Home to care for and provide basic necessities
like food on the table, clothing, health care, school
supplies, education, and hope for a better future, to
grow out of poverty and help their own.
Q: Do my donations go directly to my sponsored
child?
A: The Marsh Children’s Home
knows that the best way to protect a child from a life
of poverty and abuse is to give care, love and understanding.
Also important is to give responsibilities and discipline
to overcome the greatest challenges of growth. To be
able to do this, they combine your gifts along with
the gifts and donations of others to cover the daily
expenses of the Marsh Children’s Home,
such as food, medicines, electricity, water, gasoline
and diesel for the vehicles, school supplies and uniforms
and a myriad of expenses directly related to operating
the home, which is basically the children’s home.
Most of our children have no other home. 100%
of your donations go to the benefit of the children.
Board of Director Members does not receive
a salary or any kind of compensation.
Q: Is Marsh Children’s Home financially
responsible with my sponsorship gifts?
A: The Marsh Children’s Home's
proven commitment to stewardship has earned the trust
of hundreds of donors like retired U.S. citizens, locals,
local artists, church groups, hotels and chain markets.
Q: How do I choose a child to sponsor?
A: When you sponsor a child through our Web page, you'll
have the opportunity to choose a child by gender and
age. Another way is if you have the opportunity to visit
Acapulco on your vacation, come and visit us and enjoy
a day at the Marsh Children’s Home.
Q: What information will I get when I become
a sponsor?
A: You'll receive a kit with several photos of your
sponsored child and information about his or her origin
and community. The child will keep a report with you
through chat session and/or e-mail. You will be able
to see through our web page a progress report for the
Marsh Children’s Home. You'll
also receive regular statements to receipt your giving
and if needed we can send you tax deductible receipts.
Q: Can I communicate with my sponsored child?
A: Your sponsored child will love to hear from you and
will write back! Your welcome kit will include full
instructions about how to correspond through user ID
#, and you will receive colorful e-mail cards sent by
your child on holidays. Also, we will be implementing
online chatting functionality into our website in the
near future, so you can chat with your sponsored child.
Q: Can I visit my sponsored child?
A: When you come to Acapulco, plan a visit to meet your
sponsored child. We have installations to receive guests
(for a nominal charge) or stay at the hotel of your
choice and come and spend the day at the Marsh
Children's Home which is right on the beach.
Give some joy and love by spending time with the children.
That is all that they really want - people who care!
We would love to have you visit us!
Q: How does sponsorship show God's love to a
child?
A: The Marsh Children’s Home
desires that every child experience the unconditional
love that comes from God. The expression of this love
is woven throughout the words, actions, and relationships
of The Marsh Children’s Home's staff trained by
Mamá
Jovita the director of this Institution.
The Marsh Children’s Home supports
biblical teachings giving the children a background
of responsibility, duty, discipline and care and love
towards their brothers and sisters that even if they
are not blood related they are all considered as such
at the Marsh Children’s Home.
Q: Can I be a volunteer at the Marsh Children’s
Home?
A: We often have volunteers that come help the kids
out with computer lessons, music, and singing, games
and Bible study. We have nice air conditioned rooms
available at a minor fee for hard working, serious volunteers.
