Sponsorship Model
Individual sponsors contribute funds on a monthly basis. Sponsor funds are combined to benefit an entire community. ChildFund encourages sponsors to correspond with children in the sponsored community through letters and photographs. However, correspondence is not direct. The letters are censored by representatives of the organization. Sponsors can meet their sponsored child, but they will be taken to a location outside of his or her community. According to ChildFund International, if family members or the child write to sponsors directly, the participant will be terminated from the program.

Famous quotes containing the word model:
“I had a wonderful job. I worked for a big model agency in Manhattan.... When I got on the subway to go to work, it was like traveling into another world. Oh, the shops were beautiful, we had Bergdorf’s, Bendel’s, Bonwit’s, DePinna. The women wore hats and gloves. Another world. At home, it was cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids, going to PTA, Girl Scouts. But when I got into the office, everything was different, I was different.”
—Estelle Shuster (b. c. 1923)
