I am always having trouble on what clothing items I should buy for my 8yr old girl in the Sahay area. Her shoulders are always covered with some time of sleeve from shirt of dress, also her knees are coved. I believe that maybe she does not wear shorts or pants. I have only sent 2 DP's to her  with school supplies, socks and T's in solid colors and with not to much print on them. On the 1st I sent a dress that fit her below the knee which she wore for a photo. What is the appropriate type of clothing to send?

Jannati is my first-ever sponsorship in India, and since I love sending DPs I have been wondering this same thing. An internet search led me to a fascinating article on the history and modern use of the sari, but Jannati doesn't seem to be wearing one in her photo ...

I don't sponsor any children from India, but it sounds like you're doing a great job picking things so far. Solid colors and clothes that are already the same lengths as what she seems to be wearing can't be far off. Maybe you might ask her in a letter what her favorite colors are and see if you can then find clothes in those colors? Maybe ask CI what children from her area generally wear?
