The Sponsorship Scam~ AKA Jon and Wilson Pick up Their Packages Together







I received letters from my two Honduran boys after sending them packages back in November. I opened Wilson's first, and was startled to see him photographed standing next to JONATHAN'S mother! My first thought was, "I guess all the child sponsorship critics were right. The whole thing is a scam. They hire people to pose for pictures and attend sponsorship visits, but this time they forgot which actress was supposed to play the mother of which boy. LOL

Of course, Jonathan's mother was also in the photos with her own son. It seems she must have escorted both of my kids to the community center to pick up their packages on the same day (the families do live fairly close to each other). I've always wondered if Jon and Wilson ever spend time together outside of my/Victor's visits, and now I guess it's confirmed that they do. I'm glad that I sent both boys the same items, but I'm embarrassed that their letters were basically the same, with only small sections personalized on each. Should I start writing totally different letters to the kids, so they will know that they are individually special? Dang, that would be a lot of work!

Greetings Dear Sponsor:

I greet you very affectionately along with all people around you, I hope our Holy Lord bless you and to your family.

I want to thank you so much for all you sent me and thanks for the presents you sent me, you are so special and important in me and my family's life.

I am enjoying of my vacation as I finished my primary school and I hope to continue the secondary school this coming 2010.

I wish you a Merry Christmas and that this year 2010 be a successful one for you and your family.

I love you so much and I always pray for you.

I say goodbye to you with a strong hug and a kiss.

Your sponsored child, Wilson
