Write to your Sponsored Child

We encourage you to keep in touch with your child. A letter from you will bring them joy and will remind them that someone on the other side of the world cares for them.

Sending your letter by email through this page is an option to make it more convenient for you. However you can still send your hand written letters to our office:

Att  The Child Sponsorship Department
The Salvation Army
PO Box A435
SYDNEY SOUTH  NSW  1235
