Each sponsor receives a photograph of their sponsored child together with background information on the child's family and living conditions. Sponsors will be informed of their child's educational development through annual progress reports. Sponsors can also keep in contact with their sponsored children by writing to them through the Rahula Trust. It means so much to a child to know that a sponsor thousands of miles away cares for them. Children are also encouraged to write to their sponsors through the Rahula Trust. Each year, the trust produces an annual report informing all sponsors of the trust's activities, financial position.
