Christmas Cards for Unsponsored Children

If you are a Compassion sponsor, you have a great opportunity to reach out to children who are currently unsponsored this Christmas.
As a registered child with Compassion, each unsponsored child will receive a Christmas gift at their Compassion program, but it would be so nice for each one of them to receive a warm, personal greeting. 
This is a great activity for you to do with your kids.  As always, Jill at Compassion Family has a great blog post about how she and her girls make Christmas cards for unsponsored children, but there are 100s of ways you could do it. 

Here is some important information to remember if you feel you would like to participate: An individual sponsor may send up to 25 cards without any attachments. This means no photos, stickers, etc. Cards need to be received no later than November 4 to make sure they will be received by Christmas. Any cards received after that date, may be held until next year. To ensure they are received on time, we recommend mailing them by October 26. Here is where you mail them:
Compassion International
Attn: Suzanne Hall
PO Box 6500
Colorado Springs, CO 80962-5000 
*Please note that if you are sending a Christmas letter to your sponsored child, the due date the last few years has been October 31 to guarantee delivery by Christmas. I recommend sticking to that deadline until we hear otherwise.
