Sponsoring birth siblings--how do I go about trying?

Has anyone ever successfully found a way--whether it be by a personal contact or through an organization--to help their child's birth siblings in Guatemala? As far as we know they are being raised by their birth mothers. I don't know even where to begin researching for something like this other than here. Ideally we were thinking we would like to help with their schooling. Any ideas?

If someone would PM me about this as well, I'd really appreciate it. We would love to do something like this, but it is daunting trying to figure out where to start.

For the others who are interested and have asked for information, I'm curious-- are you already in touch with your child's birthmother?

Thanks,
Anne
