Anyone sponsor a child?

I've been thinking about sponsoring a child (through World Vision or another organization like that).  I want to teach my kids about helping people in need.  Does anyone do this with their family?  Have you found it to be a valuable experience?

Isn't that illegal or something?

The idea is that you donate money to help pay for their basic needs (school supplies, clothes, etc.).  People do it all the time -- nothing illegal about it.

I haven't done that specific thing, but I have donated money before.

I kinda stopped doing that, I found out that just buying beer makes me feel even better about myself.
