Why Deaf Child Correspondence is Key

Building Meaningful Connections Through Sponsorship Letters at Deaf Child Hope International

At Deaf Child Hope International (DCH), communication plays a vital role in creating successful and lasting relationships between sponsors and Deaf children. Our cherished correspondence program bridges the gap, fostering hope and joy for children in need.

Beth Moore, DCH Sponsorship Coordinator, shares her passion for this meaningful endeavor:

“Our correspondence program is critical to providing hope to Deaf children in poverty.” — JD King

How the Correspondence Program Works

Our program connects sponsors with their sponsored Deaf children through drawings, letters, and words of encouragement. The goal is to facilitate at least two communications per year. Though it may sometimes only be one, every exchange is cherished by both the child and their sponsor.

• For the children: Writing letters or creating drawings allows them to express themselves and experience joy.
• For the sponsors: Sending letters, updates, photos, and prayers creates a meaningful connection, strengthening their bond with the child.

Beth Moore, our dedicated Correspondence Coordinator, works with partners in 11 different countries to ensure these special exchanges continue. Her tireless efforts bring happiness, connection, and hope to countless children.

The Impact of Sponsorship Letters for Deaf Children

Many Deaf children living in poverty have faced rejection, misunderstanding, and isolation. Being sponsored and receiving thoughtful letters filled with encouragement, prayers, and love has a profound effect on their morale and mental well-being.

Benefits for Sponsored Deaf Children:

• Feeling valued and supported by someone who believes in their potential
• Improved self-esteem and emotional well-being
• Referring to their sponsors as “friends” who care about them

Benefits for Sponsors:

• A deeper connection to their sponsored child
• Insight into the child’s needs, allowing for more intentional prayers
• Meaningful memories, like one sponsor who made a prayer pillow from letters and photos they received
