Little Explorers are sponsoring a child with Plan.
Years before I was a teacher I worked for Plan UK, An International Humanitarian Charity, which sponsors children. Little Explorers sponsors Cristina from Paraguay through Plan UK. If you would like to contribute £1 a month to sponsor Cristina please let me know. The idea is that we build a friendship with Cristina. We write to her to tell her all about us, and find out about her. (The younger children can draw pictures and in time I will write what they would like me to). We will paint and colour pictures to send, as well as photos and birthday and Christmas cards. I feel that it will be a mutually beneficial project, giving our children motivation and inspiration to write, as well as learning about different cultures and ways of life.
