Frequently Asked Questions
What comes with a mission/service project kit and what is the cost?
Kits include an easy to assemble handled box for children to decorate as a lunchbox or medical kit, depending on which project you choose. Each box is filled with a Sadie Shares mini book, parent postcard with instructions, and a Cheerful Giver Pouch. Students take their decorated boxes home and share the project with their family. This gives parents an opportunity to engage their children in conversations about helping those in need.
Medical care and Lunchbox Love programs include FREE instructions and access to our video. You will need to purchase 1 kit per child at$1/each. Exploring India, our 4 week curriculum, is $54. In addition, each child needs one Lunchbox Love project kit which are $1/per child.
Do I need to purchase a lunchbox or medical kit for each student to fundraise?
Yes. Each kit is $1/per child.
How much money are children expected to raise?
We have set the goal at $5 or more for each student. While this is affordable for most families, remember $5 is just a goal. Since students turn in funds in the collection pouch, this eliminates any pressure to collect the full amount and allows those who want to give more to do so.
Who can get involved with Sadie Shares programs?
Schools, churches, sports teams, scout troops, children’s clubs and groups are all great fits for our Lunchbox Love and Medical Care programs. Exploring India, our 4-week curriculum, is geared toward religious organizations but we can help any group customize the curriculum to meet your needs.
Can religious and non-religious organization take part in Sadie Shares mission/service project programs?
Yes, the program was designed to use by either group. Religious organizations may choose to refer to the project as a mission project while a secular organization would refer to the project as a service project. We’re happy to work with you to customize the Sadie Shares program to best fit the needs of your community.

How closely does Sadie Shares work with the Good Samaritan School?
Krista Clements, our executive director, was born in India and knows the culture well. She has visited the school numerous times and has frequent contact with Mummy-ji, the school’s founder and the sponsorship team in India. She is well equipped to answer questions about the school and about India.
Leslie Littrell, our program coordinator, first learned about the school in 2002 when her son’s class began to pray and raise funds so that a “real school” could be built to replace the “toilet school’ located in a crowded slum. Her family has sponsored numerous students and she has helped her own children connect with their sponsored friends in India. Leslie has visited the school 4 times and is always eager to return!
Our videos are created by Kaitlyn Kirk who visited the school to get to know our students and teachers and obtain video footage for our program. She and her husband sponsor 2 students.
At Sadie Shares we know our students and we want you to know them too.
