Compassion – Make a Donation – Sponsor a Child
I am going to a Compassion event tonight to help run a table (I think?) and pass out sponsorship packets. I am so excited!
My little girl, Tasya from Indonesia, is 9 years old and just started the 4th grade. Her grades are improving and she has been healthy. We write tons of letters back and forth, and she is very sweet. It is very humbling to know a little girl is so incredibly thankful that I write her letters.
If you can handle skipping a few meals out to eat every month, or buy generic brand groceries (Be a Generic Hero!), it is only $38 a month. That sounds like a decent chunk to most of us, but compared to restaurant prices or the cost of the newest name brand chips (Sour Cream & Chive Wheat Thins anyone?), we blow $38 on things much less important.
MUCH less important than education, basic health care, and a Christian involvement for an underprivileged child.
There's my plug. But don't give your excuses to me. You know who. ;)

Mitchell and I have been sponsoring an 11 year old girl in Dila, Ethiopia for a while now. Her name is Sewnet. I love thinking about her and praying over her and knowing that God is using me to touch the life of a little girl on the other side of the world! I send her paper dolls since they can fit in envelopes!
