Write to Your Student
Writing to your student at least a couple times a year means the world to them!
When you write to the student you sponsor, he/she will write back to you. Our LPGM staff at the boarding home will help facilitate this and may help with translation. As soon as we receive the reply from the student, we will forward it to you.
Send a Letter or Postcard
There have been delivery issues with postal mail during COVID-19. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that your mail will arrive at its destination in India.
Send only flat envelopes, like a letter or a card. You may include a photograph or two. Consider including other family members or pets or a landmark near the place where you live in a photo – like a corn field, a lake, flowers, a tree or a mountain.
Please do not send cash or gifts directly to your student. A student that receives a lavish gift can be excluded by other students. A large package may not even make it to the LPGM India Office and therefore will not be delivered to your sponsored student. Your sponsorship support is the best way to love, support and encourage the young student.
Address your letter like this:
Student Name/Student ID Number
LPGM India
Post Bag 59
Cuddalore 607 001
TN South India
Use our office as the return address to protect your privacy:
Lutheran Partners in Global Ministry
4570 W 77th St Ste 124
Minneapolis MN 55435-5024
It is best to visit the post office to obtain the correct amount of postage to mail your envelope.
It may take at least a month for your post letter to be delivered and additional time to process. As soon as we receive the reply from the student, we will forward it on to you.
Thank you for writing to your sponsored student!
