Evidence

Every update is backed by a small evidence packet.

Not every sponsor update needs a photo. The stronger pattern is ordinary evidence: receipts, notes, attestations, optional media, and a review trail.

Receipt or ledger

Private file upload, public summary only.

Field attestation

A short signed note: who observed what, when, and where.

Consent-approved media

Sponsor-only, reviewed first, never public by default.

Public proof card

Aggregate count, review level, caveats, and what stayed private.

Donor communication

Email tells the story. SMS just opens the door.

WhatsApp and phone calls can coordinate humans. The official sponsor update resolves to one reviewed secure page.

Not recordkeeping

Human coordination

Please open the app and finish this month's pod check-in when you have service.

The app is the official record.
WhatsApp helps people coordinate, but it is not the database.
Child photos are sponsor-only, consent-scoped, and reviewed first.
Email carries the full secure update.
SMS only nudges back to the secure page.
Public proof stays aggregate and child-safe.
