Sponsor a Child.Change the life of a child.....forever!
This installment of Blue Monday features a great program. Compassion International. Compassion International is a Christian child advocacy ministry. They assist over one million children in twenty four countries to reach their fullest potential by supporting them physically, emotionally and spiritually. Check out their website and see what a difference you can make in the lives of children.
There were blogs last week that featured a trip to Dominican Republic and the stories were unbelievable. The pictures they posted about this trip brought me to tears more than once. There is a great need for so many in the world. I am going to make a difference in one life, that is the least I can do. It is a small price to pay and the best $32.00 per month I have ever decided to spend.
I clicked on their website and was hooked. Not only by the good works this organization is doing, but by a sweet little smile that tugged at my heart strings.
She is eight years old. She lives in the Dominican Republic. She loves art and playing with dolls. She is our sponsored child.You will be able to follow our story about this sweet little girl as it develops. I am sure the blessings will be too good not to share.
In keeping with the rules of Blue Monday, the website logo is a bright royal blue. And our sponsored child has on a pretty blue belt with pretty blue ponytail holders.
Please visit Sally at Smiling Sally's Blog. Start the week off right and kick the Monday Blue's by viewing all the lovely blue items her visitors share.
three weeks after my husband and I started dating we undertook our first thing as a 'couple' we decided to sponsor a little boy named Kenz from the Philippines. He is PRECIOUS! I actually just wrote to his mom last night! (he is still too young to write, but he sends us drawings!!)
ReplyDeleteby far the best $ we spend each month, you will not regret it!
Oh, also, I had the opportunity while I was living in the Dominican Rep. to meet some compassion children in their homes, and this program really truly does make a huge difference for these kids, as well at their parents! And yes, they really do hang up your pictures!
What a wonderful post... Your sponsored child looks lovely in her blue belt and ponytail holders. It was so nice of you to share information on this program... Donna

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this info. I look forward to updates about the child you two are sponsoring. It's nice too to hear from Bekah first hand how much difference this program really does make!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to bring about awareness, Suzanne! I sponsor a child through Plan America with my students. We've been doing it for so long that we've had 3 "graduates"!
ReplyDeleteI have something new to look forward to now--to see what the next suprise is on your blog. Glad to see your heart in the right place. I had started thinking it had gone to the "dogs".
ReplyDeleteOh, what a cute little girl you are sponsoring. And, what a wonderful thing for you to do.
