NOTE: At present mail is not being delivered to Uganda from Australia.
Letters can be emailed to your sponsored student(s) by writing the letter in the body of an email or as an attachment, sent to sponsorship@bushikori.org.au and your letter will be forwarded to the Child Care Department at BCC.
We arrange to have letters sent from sponsored students at least twice a year, and encourage sponsors to write back. The kids love to hear details of your life and family, your church and or sporting groups, you can also tell them why you chose to sponsor a student and what it means to you to have them in your life.
As their Australian sponsor you are regarded as a very special member of the family so the kids love getting photos and pictures of you - many humble mudbrick homes have smiling Aussie faces on their walls!
Here are some hints to help you get started:
