Hello I am reaching out to find out the status of my sponsored child in India. I know of the "lock out" currently in effect in India. but I am concerned for Piyush and his family as I do not know if he is receiving any help/funds/ and medical attention he needs. I have a profile on your site and the recent news of India's new laws make me worried for his well-being. I will answer all questions and will give you my profile I.D. on your site. I just want to know who if anyone is looking to his needs currently.

I would also like to know about my sponsored child.  I received a letter implying I would no longer be able to sponsor her due to the new laws being passed in India.  That Children International had to leave the area.  This is very disheartening.

As @debbies said: "Please contact our Care Team at 1-800-888-3089 for specific assistance on this matter."

I did a live chat with a member of the Care Team and inquired about children being sponsored in India and since CI was leaving India, what would happen to those children currently in our account. I was told the following "We are actually not leaving India orremoving any children from the sponsorship program."
Apparently, there will be an update in January concerning the situation there. CI will continue to take sponsorship payments for your child(ren) in India. I can assume they will be forwarded once things settle down  or CI will take what ever action is necessary once things become clearer in India.
Hope this helps.
