Gavin Boyce My six month old boy has just sponsored a beautiful 4yo girl in Cambodia. I hope it will teach him the value of giving to someone less fortunate than himself as he grows up receiving letters and photos from his new friend and her family.

Anyone else sponsor to teach humanitarian values to children? I know we have a lot of mums, dads, aunts, uncles and grandparents sponsoring for this reason.

Cecilie Knowles

Cecilie Knowles Hello, I sponsor a little girl in a small village near Kampong Cham in Cambodia. Early last year I was fortunate enough to visit her and her family (and school and village!) and experience first hand the excellent work Plan are doing in this particularly poor part or a particularly poor country. It was an enriching experience made all the more wonderful by the great care shown towards me and my travelling partner by Plan Kampong Cham staff – their smiles and laughter and that of the local people they introduced us to will stay with me always. I want to thanks them once again for all their hard work and wish them continued success both personally and professionally.

Erin I am so thrilled....I just sponsored my third child! I am a great supporter of 'Plan' - absolute wonderful work. I am honoured to be a part of such a live giving organization.

Plan Child Sponsorship The greatest measure of success for Plan is being able to leave a community after it has reached its development goals.

Plan's work with communities in Banphai, Thailand demonstrates the power of child sponsorship. With the help of Plan's child centred community development programs and more than 8,000 Plan child sponsors, Banphai succeeded in achieving self-sufficiency after almost 20 years

There are thousands of excellent aid groups and it would be unfair to single out one as best. I can only share how wonderful it felt to meet the boy whom I’ve been sponsoring.

Ulrike Schnabel

Ulrike Schnabel Today I received another letter from my sponsored child in Guatemala and read it at least three times. The communication with her family over the last six years has been so rewarding. Back in Germany I used to translate letters and annual reports for Plan between english and german; reading the reports about the community projects really opened my eyes.

The team behind the Oscar-winning movie Slumdog Millionaire has made a commitment of £500,000 to help children in the Mumbai slums. Plus Plan helped them establish a trust to ensure the ongoing welfare of the film’s child stars.

This is great, Plan is such a fantastic organization and everyone should support them. They practice much more fiscal responsibility than some of the others which is so important- there is genuine passion and strong ethics guiding all operations. Idealistic yet realistic people and projects. I hope to support them more and more in future.
