Compassion UK is an amazing organisation that works in 25 of the worlds poorest countries. They operate child sponsorship projects and for just £21 a month you can sponsor a child and make a massive difference to their lives. Compassion supports the whole family through the local churches, offering improved healthcare, access to eduction, training, social and emotional and spiritual care. As a sponsor you receive a picture of your child, their name, some information about them and their family and where they live. You also get regular letters and the children love hearing from their sponsors. I cannot help thinking how life changing this small amount of money must be to these children and their families. Last year my Mum and Dad became Compassion reps and as a result they had the privilege of going out to Ethiopia on a reps trip and they had the opportunity to meet one of their children (I think they have 4 sponsor children now.... Dad is a bit of a soft touch really!!! Here is a short video they made of their trip. Please watch it and consider whether you might be able to afford £21 a month to hep provide support and love to one of these children.
