We wish to thank you for your continued support of our Sponsor an IDP Child program. Through your donations we are running a food distribution program and giving rice to the children and their families for the next year. We have also completed a pilot program in training 15 women to sew. We are planning on getting a structure at the IDP Camp as a place for the women to work, to store the sewing machines and for more women to be trained. We were pleased with the pilot program and hope to see more women trained and able to make items that can be sold to improve the lives of their families.
Some sponsors have sent small 5'x7" envelopes with goodies for their child. It has been expensive and has taken one to two months to arrive. If you'd like to do this the physical address to send is:
ADICOM, Bamako Mali, Stuba, pres Soterco, Tel: 0022379369596 BP: 1792
The telephone number must be included. The child's name should be in the bottom left corner.
However, if you'd like to send an email (perhaps with a picture of yourself?), please send to sponsoranidpchildinmali@gmail.com. Put the child's name in the subject line.
Our contact in Mali would then read your email (with translation) to the child the next time he's at the Faladje Camp. The children are all very shy and creating a dialogue is usually best initiated by the sponsor.
We thank you for your sponsorship.
