I was just asked by someone I met in Haiti while on a medical mission to be the godmother of his new baby. What is expected of me?

Basically, a godmother in Haiti sponsors the child, and is always one step away behind the parents to help rear the child.
The godmother should be present at the child baptism or presentation. You may bring a small gift for the child, but that's not required.
If that someone who asked you this favor does not know you well, and you don't even live in Haiti, I think an unfair responsibility has fallen into your lap.
