Chedraui..

MSC archived stories - January 4, 2018

One of the biggest supermarkets in Mexico. I use them to send food supplies to Ana (part of my nutrition program) – everything done online [www.chedraui.com.mx] with a whole team of incredible staff/management helping me out with the gifts!

 

Just received photos taken by them of the gift delivery made today. This is way over my expectations!! I loved the decorated box with neatly assembled items and to accompany stuffed toys was a very nice gesture – I greatly appreciate the care and efforts taken by the store staff at Chedraui (Vallarta), and I thanked them for coordinating this gift delivery successfully.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Querida Ana

Les envío tres artículos nutritivos con cada suministro por 30 días, por lo que usted / familia puede decidir cómo administrar / consumir los alimentos durante el período de 3 meses. Ha sido comprado por mí desde México usando una tienda en línea y entregado como paquete directo.

¡Estar sano!

Amor, Chelaka

    That's an exciting post, chelaka (and I don't even have a sponsored child in Mexico...but I'm considering it) What a splendid service! Thank you for the tip (which I might be using soon) and special applause to you for tending to nutrition. Food first! I have marked your post "favorite" so I can reference your advice.

    Good tip! I don't sponsor any children in Mexico, but I've visited the country 6 times and the three big supermarkets are: Chedraui, Soriana and Bodega Aurrera. Soriana also seems to offer home delivery, so that might be another option that could work. For those who sponsor in Colombia, Exito and Carulla are the two big online supermarkets. I prefer to just send Extra Gifts, so I don't have any first-hand experience with any of the websites I mentioned.

    I'm excited to learn of this option in Mexico! I have previously used Tu Guatemala in Guatemala and Shopzed in Zambia, but I didn't know of any options in Mexico. Thank you for sharing!

DP to Zambia

MSC archived stories -  January 18, 2025 Usually the turnaround time for DP is 4 weeks. It's been a month to next Sunday (Jan 26th) since UPS collected and successfully delivered my DPs to Dulce and the twins. Two years later, last night Simon appeared in my profile as a grown up man. As we aren't getting follow up photos from Zambia anymore, for the first time thought trying DPs to Faith and Simon there, so they will have to come to CC to collect it, where the staff will have a camera to take photos. I remember Zambia used to have the whole family gatherings for EG photoshoot out. So, are there anything special they would be more excited receiving? For example, a football or cricket bat & ball set for Simon, and for Faith.. (no idea!.. may be something to make her elegant hairstyle she has in the latest photo..?). Help me make the list, of course, I don't want to make staff jealous

Pause for Thought! – The value of sponsorship

MSC archived stories - March 2, 2019 As we know the sponsorship does not demand us to write, send special needs or extra gifts to our children, but being a "silent" sponsor does your monthly contribution bring real value (for money) – especially if you live outside the USA, you or CI don't even get tax benefits of your charitable donation? Is this because most sponsors can't afford anymore than the monthly fee to sponsor a child or trust CI so much that they do not feel needing to play an active role in their sponsored child(ren)'s lives to have an impact?   The sponsorship rewards both sponsor and the child through exchange of letters. Then we have social media platforms, like MSC to share our experiences with fellow sponsors – all can be done for free and bring closer understanding of each other and building friendships for life!   But above all sponsorship motivates your child to attend their community center more often not only for letter reading/writing but a...

A step in a higher level journey

Estephanie is my former sponsored child through Children International, whom I cared for four and a half years since she was just 6yrs old. She is a gifted and bright child brought up in a loving family of four in Guatemala. Her abrupt departure from the sponsorship program in June 2019 was totally unexpected, even though I was acutely aware of their situation in the family a s well as the city leading up to this moment. Estephanie is not just any sponsored child, but someone who changed my life forever devoting to children in need. For that reason, I call her ‘my miracle little princess’ and she calls me ‘padrino’ (her godfather). In August 2020, fourteen months after her leaving CI, we met again and reunited with the family. It was our momentous encounter of this lifetime. The family has moved on leaving everything behind to start a new life abroad. More importantly , I was fortunate enough to see Estephanie growing up fast in a new world since I last saw her back home. At age...
