"catholic" compassion international

[Bernard]

I am a former protestant, and while a protestant my wife and I sponsored a child in a third world country with a monthly payment that went to a education and a uniform to an under-priviliedged child. In return she sent me translated letters, of which we could respond and could watch her grow into a young adult. In the process of sponsoring her we both converted to the Church, and shared that with her, as she was no doubt picked from a catholic parish and brought into a protestant church school that was educating her. We were asked not to share our “denominational” requests or delve too deep into our faith, but I did it anyway. We feel the need to sponsor a child again. With compassion for about 30 bucks a month we were able to provide her with the above, we got a picture and a small profile of her, which grew as she grew. Is there a program like this sponsored by the church?

Hi, there.

This past CAF thread asks the same question, and appears to have many links to sponsorship programs run by Catholic ministries.

I have sponsored a lovely young lady from the Philippines for several years through CFCA. They are a Catholic organization and the kids attend Catholic school and participate in Catholic activities, for $30.00 a month.
