SPONSORS Imagine a child's excitement when he receives a big, mysterious package from some far corner of the U.S.! This experience is shared by many students at Shonto. They are sponsored either through a national organization or by interested individuals. In return for the letters and gifts, the students reply to their sponsors, keeping them informed of their school and family activities. Using their handicraft skills, they often make gifts for their Sponsor. This relationship often begins when the student is in the first grade and continues through the child's years at Shonto, and sometimes beyond. Each year sees a number of the sponsors making the trip to the reservation to meet and talk with the Navajo child whom they've come to know through letters and pictures. Sick in bed, Christine Manheimer reads a letter from her sponsor, Dorothy Schrader of Connecticut. These girls model outfits supplied by their sponsors. Anna Clitso-lVlrs.
