She is able to write to me and send photos, and i can send additional things over to her (toiletries, clothes toys etc) and she is also monitored by French Charity workers to make sure she is ok.

Yes, it in only one person I am helping, but I have the security of knowing that my money is not being used in the wrong manner
That sounds like a great idea, My son sponcers two guide dogs for the blind, and he really feels like his money is going where he can see it being used
