Write to Your Student
Writing to your student means the world to them! They are curious who you are, what you do, and why you choose to be a sponsor. They also love seeing pictures of you, your family/friends, pets, holiday celebrations, or snow/local geography. Nandri ("Thank You" in Tamil)!
Our LPGM-India staff at the boarding home will translate your message from English into Tamil if your student is less proficient in English, and they will translate your student's reply into English if your student wrote it in Tamil.
The students are currently on summer break, but your greetings to them are very important! If you choose to write a greeting now, please know that a response will be delayed until early June when the students arrive back in the boarding home and our staff has a chance to deliver your message and get a response for you. Thank you for your patience!
The typical school calendar looks like this:
-
- June 10 - Students start returning for the new school year
- December 24 to January 16 - Holiday Vacation
- March 1 - Government examinations begin for 10th & 12th standard students
- April 15 - Summer vacation begins
When you write to your student, they will write back to you electronically. You will get an email when our India staff has uploaded their response to the sponsor portal. Then, you may log into the portal to read their response.
Sponsor Communication Instructions
If you have not logged into the portal yet and need assistance, please let us know so we can help you. It's a great way to see more information about the student(s) you support.
Sending a Letter or Postcard
Our LPGM India team is in the process of obtaining a new post box, so writing to your student via "snail mail" is currently not possible. In the meantime, please write to your student using the form above. Thank you for your patience, and please monitor this page for updates.
