The New York Times produced a video about child sponsorship. This might lend some insight to SK's decision to sponsor a child.

Hey Syed, I'm up for doing some voluntary writing, if no-one else has offered themselves yet. My e-mail is elliot.bannister[at]hotmail.co.uk
If you send me a few bullet points, outlining what our new projects will involve, I'll be able to write it up.

I sponsor 2 children through Children International. It has been rewarding for me. Yes, it may be inefficient. But I know that two children are receiving dental care, etc., because of me.
On the other hand, a much more efficient way to give would be with Heifer International ( http://www.heifer.com ). They are my favorite charity, because they truly believe in sustainability. I love to donate trees and bees through them! Check them out.

I think it woud be great if you guys helped out with "Dogs in Danger" or some other association that helps keep dogs from being euthanized.

Also note that that article was written in 1982. Child sponsorship practices have no doubt improved since then.
