Hi Lisa, we have a couple of children we sponsor and make it a point to visit the school, SD 7 Sembung, where we met not only our special kids but, the whole school, including teachers. We have always found it a very rewarding experience and wouldn't miss the visits for worlds.
Another thing to remember is that most kids in this scheme get a visit from their sponsor and your child may feel a little out of it when seeing other kids meet their sponsor. Most visits are on Saturdays so you may well be in a small group of other sponsors on that day.Try to work on hubby a bit more because I am sure he would really enjoy it.
Most of the time we are only there for an hour or so and you always could combine the visit by continuing on up the mountains to Candi Kuning, Bedugul and Lake Bratan (or even to Singaraja and Lovina). on the way down pause for a delightful Indonesian buffet at Pacung Indah, meet David and Moira and their lovely employees while enjoying the terrific view from the restaurant before going back to your hotel.
I do hope you meet your little one.
