Fuzzbutt Luvr
I've never been involved in any child sponsor programs, but what you say doesn't seem that out of line - IMO. Why don't you just do a check on the organization and see what you can dig up on them and make sure that they are 100% legit. I'm always seeing an ad on t.v. for one of them, but I can't think of the name of it to save my soul.

Very good organization. Family Christian Book Stores (national store) has sponsorships for children in their stores.
You can also get information on worldvision website.

Sounds a little fishy to me too.. I am sorry but I just get into stuff like this due to we have plenty of people in the USA that need help..

The organization in question is Children International. I mention that now because they do have a program where a person can sponsor a child in the USA.
Sadly nothing for Canada yet, even in Canadian organizations like that.

Maybe not the exact thing you have been doing, but Google Canadian organizations for disadvantaged children and see what you come up with. A cursory glance showed lots of venues for helping kids.

You could also do something more local and hands-on - like Big Brother/Big Sister, where you mentor a specific child, meet her in person, etc., http://www.bbbsedmonton.org/ is one in Alberta.
