greetings!


i just started sponsoring an afghan child, and have a couple of questions.  upon receiving my child's info, i noticed it was merely just a picture and the child's birthday and what orphanage she is in.  the section that was supposed to have the child's story was blank — is this normal?  and i didn't receive info on how i can view the orphanage, as indicated upon registering — is this also normal?  it's really no big deal, as i have already sent a cordial message to the child.  perhaps there isn't any story for this particular child, and no online info about the orphanage?  anybody have advice?  i did send a message to the administrator.  thanks, everyone.

Welcome!

No, it's not usual to have the story section entirely blank, although it can happen. Often, that initial "story" is very brief and you'll get more up-to-date information through your correspondence with your child. You should have received a link to the sponsorship site, where you can track your interactions with your child, including the emails sent back and forth and the donations you've made.

The orphanages have recently gone through a big burst of expansion, due to the sponsors who came on board after seeing Brian Williams' stories on AFCECO, and so some of the administrative side has been a little erratic as they try to manage all the new children and their sponsors. I've noticed that the emails from the children are being sent a bit irregularly, but I'm sure that will settle down once the new influx of children has been settled into the orphanages.

So, give it a little time and see what develops. If you don't hear from your child for a long time, drop an email to CharityHelp to see if there's any problem.
