Even in an age where the majority of communication takes place electronically, there is still something exciting about receiving a letter in the mail. Now imagine if that was the only mode of communication you had with the outside world. Receiving letters in the mail is thrilling for our children. They are a tangible reminder of the care and love of their sponsors.
We encourage you to write to your child and foster a relationship. You can share stories about happenings in your life that they may find interesting, and you can ask about their interests, school progress, and home life to get to know your child.
Letters should be mailed to:
Blessing the Children International
2267 Fraser Road
Kawkawlin, MI 48631
If you would like to send a package to your child, you are welcome to do this as well. The children are always in need of clothing, shoes, backpacks, toys, hygiene and educational items.
When mailing a package to your child, please include the child’s full name on the inside of the package.
Packages should be mailed to:
Blessing the Children
P.O. Box 1410
Debre Zeyit, East Shoa
Ethiopia
Other ways you can send a little extra support to your child include sending a financial gift that can be used for:
- Birthday gift
- Birthday party
- Christmas gift
- Other holiday (Easter, for example)
- Back-to-school clothes shopping
- Additional food support
If sending a financial gift with a specific purpose, please let us know how you would like it to be used. Our staff in Ethiopia will be happy to take your child on a shopping trip to purchase the items you have requested.
