SHARING CONTACT INFORMATION
Please do not give your personal contact information (such as email addresses, phone numbers, Facebook, etc.) to any of the children. While you may have wonderful intentions in reaching out to a child or his/her family directly, it is best for the ministry and the child if you communicate through Family Legacy. You can do this through our child sponsorship program, which will allow you to provide for a child’s basic educational and spiritual needs and communicate with him or her through letters. Feel free to share your contact information with your Zambian partners at your discretion. We understand that you may be interested in maintaining your relationship with them but encourage you to cultivate healthy boundaries to avoid inappropriate or unmet expectations.
DON’T MAKE PROMISES
We know that after building relationships with the children in your group, you may be tempted to promise them that you will return to Zambia next year or secure their sponsorship (if unsponsored). While we understand that you may fully plan on following through with your intentions, we ask you to refrain from making any type of promises to these children.
Many of them have found so few people to trust in their short lives, and failure to fulfill any promises can be very hurtful, so be sensitive to the power of your words.
