Sponsorship is hard. It's very human work. Sponsorship groups often experience cross-cultural exchange issues. There's often surprise at the lack of excitement that newcomers will feel after their initial month here. Months two, three, five or six can be really hard. Sponsorship groups don't know how to handle that. Sponsorship groups struggle with language where there are big language acquisition gaps, and with dealing with people who have been deeply traumatized.
The benefit of the program is team problem-solving and wide community support in solving those issues together. We see thousands of different solutions being developed by the sponsorship groups as they face each of those hurdles.
