It is possible to offer a gift under certain conditions to avoid possible jealousies among the children. We may not be able to tell him that it comes directly from you because not all the children are lucky to have a gift from their sponsors, but we will send you a picture of the child with the gift. Sometimes we will recommend you to get a gift that the child has chosen, a useful gift or one that can be shared with the other children.

Do they go to school?
