Brett from Chilliwack, BC, was visited by a rep named Colin Travis last night who he said did a great job. Such a great job, in fact, that Brett ended up choosing to sponsor a child even though he said at the beginning of the visit that he wasn't really interested! Brett said that Colin was really good at explaining that child sponsorship isn't just about giving money to a child overseas, but that it's also about building a relationship with that child and letting them know that someone in Canada cares about them. Anyway, Brett just wanted to let us know to keep up the good work!

I just wanted to take a moment to send in a round of applause for Azim Ahmed. He was recently at our door on behalf of World Vision and did a wonderful job. He was polite, professional and did a wonderful job conveying the vision and values of World Vision. It was very clear that Azim is passionate about his work with World Vision and is a real asset to the organization. At this time we are not able to make a commitment to sponsor a child, but will keep the information Azim provided to us, and will be sure to consider World Vision in the future. Thank you, Robin.

Last night, a young lady named Samantha Butler came by our house and told us all about the World Vision program and sponsoring a child. Even our 9yr old son, Nicholas, was listening to what she had to say. After spending approximately 30 minutes with us and answering all of our questions, Nicholas is now taking $1.00 a week out of his allowance to sponsor a boy his age, Hacen Sidi, from Mauritania. We are very proud of our son for wanting to do this. Samantha was telling us everything this program does and she was a pleasure to have come to our door on that Tuesday, January 6th. Thank you Samantha Butler for making a difference in our home and in our son, Nicky.

Just wanted to write a quick note to let someone know what a good employee you have in Adam, doing door to door for World Vision. He was friendly and sincere, and got right to the point of why he was on my doorstep. People need to be reminded that groups like World Vision still, and maybe more than ever, need our attention and I believe you've got the right man for the job. Sincerely, Sarah

Last week I was visited by Natasha for a sponsorship of a child through World Vision. She was absolutely delightful in every way. She seems like just the sort to be doing what she is doing. A genuinely kind spirit for children and seemingly everyone. I was not able to sponsor a child this time around as I already am sponsoring a young girl from Brazil. I insisted on getting her information so that I could at least pass along to you guys that she was a treat to speak with and I wish her and your cause all the best. Alan

Just a quick email to let you know how nice and friendly your reps are. I met Arash on Ste-Catherine's Street in Montreal last Friday and he was VERY nice. He explained World Vision's involvment, listened to my questions, gave me the info without ever putting pressure on me. My girlfriend and I select an organization to which we donate every year. World Vision will certainly be the next on our list. Thanks very much! Louis

I just wanted to let you know that one of your employees, Kevin Champagne came to my door on Friday at 19h30. Although I could not commit to a child sponsorship program at the present moment, he was very motivated, and explained to me the importance of your program. I let him know that when my financial situation improves. I might adhere to your program so I can make a difference too. In the mean time, I only wanted to commend Kevin's dynamism and hard work. Please pardon my somewhat awkward English skills, and let me congratulate you and your team for your noble work. Cordially, Tommy

I am proud and touched for my son and I to become a new sponsor today. It has been something I have been thinking about for awhile and wanted to do for Christmas this year. I must send my appreciation to the gentlemen that came to my door to ease my mistrust in where the funds go and that my donation really will help. Their warmth and sincerity did not go unnoticed and I once again, am happy to be able to help in this very worthwhile cause that I will vocalize to my friends. Thank you, Jodie & Adem

I would like to provide some feedback on the representative that I had visit my home on September 3, 2008. Letisha was friendly and helpful. As we already have sponsored children through Foster Parent's Plan, I was very familiar with the benefits of sponsorship. Letisha provided me with additional information about the administration fees and other services provided by World Vision. She was pleasant, informative and non-pressuring. You are very fortunate to have such good staff! Sincerely, Susan

I just wanted to say that Derek Bryer and the two ladies that came with him were very pleasant to deal with. I signed up with them and I am awaiting my package, hopefully it will be here soon! They did a wonderful job. I have always thought about sponsoring but wasn't sure when I saw the ads on TV, and I was glad they stopped by.

Client Email:
Yesterday I began sponsoring a little girl from Senegal. The thought to sponsor a child came after a lady came to my door talking about World Vision and how it helps many children and communities. This reminded me of how badly I wanted to sponsor a child when I was only a child. By this lady coming to tell me about such a great organization, it encouraged me to do something I've always wanted to do. This goes to show that even if people don't sign up right away at the door, it plants a seed in their mind that they are capable of giving, and should help someone in need. So, thank you for this opportunity to help someone. I will surely encourage others to do the same. Sincerely, Stephanie.

I don't often do this but I wanted to take a moment to write in praise of a young man who came to my door this week. When I realized he was soliciting for World Vision, I told him I already sponsor three children and couldn't possibly do any more. He insisted on shaking my hand and thanking me profusely. We had a great chat about World Vision and the joys of child sponsorship and when he departed he left me with a child sponsorship form, even though I insisted I had nobody to give it to. Well, to make a long story short, I stared at that form on my kitchen table for a few days and I realized I couldn't bear to just throw it out. So I signed up to sponsor another child, a Hope Child, a 13-year-old girl from Rwanda. I can't wait to meet her. The rep's name is Craig Caldwell and he was fabulous. Thanks so much for this new blessing in my life. Jackie

“I’ve always been interested in sponsoring a child, I’ve seen many commercials and had it in mind, but never went about looking more into it. When Jesse came knocking on my door today, I couldn’t refuse. He’s a very inspiring person and I’m very excited to be getting involved. I plan to write to my sponsored child and eventually in the future make my way to visiting him! I’d like to help make a difference with this organization. Thanks so much for this opportunity!

Chris was very impressed with how Abel gave him such a positive first impression of World Vision.

“We received a visit from David Simpson. We (my husband and I) were so impressed by his own experience on a Peace Keeping mission we asked him to come back when our two 14 year old daughters were home so they could hear a little bit about his stories and not worry so much about their I-pods, etc. We are a family that tries to focus on an attitude of gratitude and sometimes we all get a lost in how lucky we are to live in Canada. It was refreshing to listen to David and because of his young age our girls actually did listen to him. Randy and I sponsored a little girl in Thailand and our daughters took on their own little girl, also in Thailand. Thank you so much for providing this avenue for us to help!”

Ludomila contacted the Feedback line to commend Jonathan Dutchak. She and her husband found him to be very pleasant to speak with.

Feedback was contacted by Marigold, who said, "I think Ashley has been the only door to door canvasser I opened the door to, and didn’t slam it right back shut again. She had a very friendly and welcoming way about her, which made her easy to talk to. She was very knowledgeable about the program- something that I am not interested in at all, and altered my outlook on things. I didn't sign up to sponsor a child (even though Ashley was convincing) and still she was courteous towards me. This is how all canvassers should be if companies expect to impact the community."

Ms. Brendly call Feedback to say, "Dinka and Adrien were so good with me, I can’t believe it! They were so knowledgeable, personable unbelievable enthusiastic. I have never seen such greatness come from the youth of this generation but they given me hope. Dinka was quite a bit more shy then Adrien but still had a beautiful light about her. Adrien had an amazing vivid personality, was extremely polite and very outgoing. They were not pushy, and made me feel valued even when I let then know I was unable to sponsor."

Good Evening, One of your representatives, #31003 Jayme presented to my door this evening. He was very polite, respectful, engaging, and very knowledgeable of the World Vision program. His very non-intrusive congenial manner placed me immediately at ease. He was also engaging with my 2 children, and was very respectful of the fact that the information he could convey would not necessarily be appropriate for young children to hear and he made sure that they were not alarmed when he was speaking. To be honest, I had not considered the World Vision Program for my donations, but after speaking with Jayme, when our family is in a financial situation to be able to donate, we will be seriously considering the World Vision Program. Thank you for your time, and I hope that most, if not all of your representatives are like Jayme.

Regards, Nadine

Greg Girard # 27477 this is simply to inform you that the above representative of World Vision was at my door this evening. He was a very nice gentleman and was not pushy or anything. I believe it is important to let you know such a thing since I’m sure you hear only when things don’t go as they should. Keep up the great work World Vision. Children desperately need people like you to go out and get the help from people like me that don’t bother until someone gets them to stop procrastinating.

Thank you,

Hello. I met with one of your representatives today, Greg Girard # 27477. I just wanted to comment on his outstanding job with representing everything your program is about. He was very informative and defiantly knew what he was talking about. He was very easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable about the situation. I have always thought about helping out or giving back somehow to the community and with my first hand knowledge of third world countries and all they need, I'm glad to finally get involved in such a great organization and I will do my best to help out any way I can.

Thank you,

Geri Regan left a message with Feedback about David Flynn. "I called to tell you what a wonderful representative of World Vision he is. David did a fantastic job encouraging us to sponsor. Even though he had a no pressure attitude we ended up sponsoring two children because he presented the fact so well. I wish David the best in his future!"
