JuanaCeline, CI can cover basic fees. The price of that school is about 6 months of sponsorship fees. That's way too high. They cover fees when it's a reasonable amount, mostly local public schools. Sometimes there isn't one locally, sometimes they're full, etc. For a child who's near a public school they do try to cover what fees are needed, uniforms, supplies, etc. But it's like when we talk about the Guatamalan kids...free until after 6th grade. There are still schools, they're just beyond CIs range. I just began a sponsorship of a new child and I know that she can't go to school because her school is at capacity...I'm sure there are other schools but they may be private (expensive) or faraway (transport costs). There are just so many elements. Not to mention CI is also covering health, dental, and nutrition when needed. It just really depend on each child's situation, sorry to take over!

Frumor- I don't know exactly how it works when CI gathers information for Special Needs reports (which is basically what this is- just education focused). I am sure they don't promise the family anything, because that wouldn't be good if for whatever reason the sponsor wasn't able to provide the support.

that is awesome!!!
