I Don't Want a Penpal

Last year, a canvasser from Children International got me on one of my good days and signed me up to sponsor a child in Colombia for $30/month. I didn't realize this came with hand written letters from the kid that's required by the org twice a year.

I'm fine supporting him financially, but I'm not trying to adopt a child or have a forced relationship with him. It feels icky to me that I'm exchanging money for a relationship, and I don't even want the relationship. I guess I'd like to crowdsource if it'd be rude of me to ask the org to stop forcing him to write the letters. I don't want to hurt the kid's feeling, but I guess it's hard to know what he feels about it. Would love any insights to Children International as well if anyone has insider info.
