Plan Postbox now online!

For many of our sponsors, writing is a wonderful part of their sponsorship experience. For many, it’s the reason they decided to sponsor a child in the first place, to have that personal connection and see the impact their donations are having first-hand.

We have long been managing the process of sharing letters between sponsors and their sponsored children right across the developing world, however, to date, this has been in traditional format only.

In response to queries from our sponsors about an online tool to email their messages, we have developed a modern, faster, easier and greener way for them to communicate.

Our new online Plan Postbox is now live and allows our sponsors to say 'hello' to their sponsored child today safely and securely, thus reducing postage, delivery costs and administration resources. It will also enable our sponsors to attach images to share with their sponsored child.

Correspondence gives sponsors the chance to build a friendship, an opportunity to learn about a culture through the eyes of their sponsored child and their family and community and also allows them to share in their achievements, pastimes, education and much more. It also allows sponsors to see the difference that Plan, with their support, is making. 

Tips for writing to your Sponsored Child

Why not ask questions in your email? It may make it easier for your sponsored child to write back. You could ask about their school, their favourite subjects and games, their family or what they want to be when they grow up. They will also be keen to hear about your life, family and daily routines. Share what you feel comfortable with.

And remember, “a picture says a thousand words” so why not attach a photograph or image with your message and we will send on with your message as soon as possible.

Happy Emailing!
