Forester student
If you stay in with a teacher and visit one or more schools it is possible
that you will be asked to sponsor a student for following extra courses
or studies. If you decide to do that, take notice of the following.
Never sent money by post, it probably want arrive.Give him or her, or
one of the parents, a bank account. Also you can give them a e-mail
address for faster communication. Letters take a long time and telephone
is not always available in the kampungs. Also ask a teacher, head of
school or someone like that to keep an eye on it. Make good appointments
about it, because poor people are always looking for money. And many
people around your pupil will try to take advantage of your sponsorship.
But it is also a waist of talent to see so many intelligent and motivated
students get lost because of so little money. Euro 25,- a month help
them a lot.
This site is not organizing sponsorship, this is only an advisement
for people who visit the area and the schools.
