The role as I understand it, is you sponsor or pay for the baptism ceremony, are responsible for the child's care if they become orphaned, and you are NOT responsible for providing care for his/her family. I have 2 godchildren, one- a nephew here in Canada and A 11 year old girl in Jarabacoa. I bring clothing/shoes to Leslie, encourage her with her schooling, sports...etc, but she has two caring parents that are doing a good job of raising her. Perhaps others have a different experience and more knowledge than me.
