Sponsorship

[jennyjoan]

I have been sponsoring a little girl in Ethiopia for about 15 years now - and I know that she is not a little girl anymore - anyway thought the money went onto another kid which I was happy with.

Gets a letter from the Trust - we no longer can find the little girl in question as she has moved out of the village so we do not require your sponsorship any longer.

I thought I was doing them a favour. Ah well.

Would you not prefer their honesty? They could have just kept on taking your money!

You really do have some strange ideas at times JJ.

[jennyjoan]

Eccles - you may find me strange but I sure find you extremely judgemental.

[gness]

Are you going to sponsor another, Conne?...It's a nice thing to do....x

[jennyjoan]

Gness - I may add the amount onto another charity that I am very fond of.

[EcclesCake]

Why not address the first paragraph rather than focussing on the second?

I personally think the charity shot themselves in the foot. They could have introduced you to other youngsters to sponsor. They were upfront and you seem reluctant to acknowledge that, for whatever reason.

I thought it was good of them to let you know the situation.

[jennyjoan]

Why should I have to do anything you tell me to do Eccles.

[Georgiesmum]

Im sure your money has done a lot of good in that 15 years. Well don.!

[EcclesCake]

As you wish, I was just offering a different perspective to your own.

But I will swceam and swceam like a child because I want too!!!

[jennyjoan]

georgie - I am not fishing for compliments - I was introduced to her via my friend who also sponsors another little girl. Her name is Zewditu - lovely kid - she sent me photos and when she started to learn English - wrote me a few letters. So that was nice.

[jennyjoan]

Oh Islay - you do do a great impersonation of Bonnie Langford. Well done you.

Shame you had to cancel out your kind act of sponsoring someone by being so waspish about it.

[murraymints]

I would be a bit taken back by that too Conne..would expect them to transfer your kind donation to another child perhaps.....? however it was the correct thing to let you know the girl had moved..... I do not think there is any need for such rudeness to be shown towards Conne either

[jennyjoan]

Sherrard if you read the posts - I haven't cancelled anything.

[murraymints]

conne did NOT cancel sponsorship..the agency did

[EcclesCake]

I didn't think there was a need for such rudeness directed towards Charlie Dimmock either MM!
