I sponsored a child for a few months and just started sponsoring another last week. One is in Uganda and the other in India. One of the girls at work is looking into sponsoring so we were talking about it on Friday. I had the picture of my Indian child to show her the pack that you get from the charity.
Couple of colleagues decided to jump into the conversation to say how it is all a con etc.
One said I should have chosen prettier children. Which was a bit of a shock but I figured she was making a joke.
Just had a text from her this morning saying "I see you are sponsoring another kid with a dark sun tan."
I don't know how to respond to it! It sounds racist to me but maybe I am over-sensitive as I love my little sponsor children!
