How can I preview and purchase the Cinderella Children documentary DVD?

Cinderella Children is a documentary that was developed to promote the awareness and sponsorship of the war orphans at the Childcare Kitgum Servants school in Uganda.

Can I write or send a gift to my child?

Yes, you are encouraged to write or send small gifts to your child whenever you like and post direct to Africa:
c/o Irene Gleeson
Childcare Kitgum Servants
P O Box 40
Kitgum, UGANDA

Mark clearly on the parcel, 'Orphans Relief Goods', to help ensure your parcel arrives in tact.

Enclose a self-addressed envelope for the reply. Do not post to the volunteer office in Sydney. A correspondence clerk will locate your child among the 8,000 or more children coming daily to school and ensure that your child writes a reply. Gifts are only given to the children after they have written thank-you notes.

The school is closed at Christmas so it is better to send gifts to reach us in time for the children's birthday party in the first week of July. Allow at least 8 weeks for return airmail post to northern Uganda (or 6 months for sea mail).

Good gifts are books, t-shirts, undies, small FM radios, pens, soap, toothbrushes or balls. But, please, no jewelry, short dresses or girls' slacks. Irene encourages you to send items in sets of 4 so that they can be shared with children who are not sponsored. (We will NOT accept cash donations for individual children or families).


Can I visit my child?
Visitors are welcome to come for a ten day visit to meet your child and learn more about this precious Acholi tribe. The children and staff are greatly encouraged by your love and effort. Avoid school holidays: May, September and mid-November to the end of January. All visitors will be required to pay their own way, including money to cover the costs of food and lodge while staying at CKS.


What information can I expect from being a Child Sponsor?
As a child sponsor, you have joined hands with us to rescue destitute children in North Uganda. We look forward to keeping in touch with you and telling you about his or her progress. You will receive 3 newsletters a year, their mid-year school report with a new photo and a Christmas greeting.
