This CAN be done!

As I'm sure you're well aware, I have been blogging about Compassion a lot lately.  We were given 25 sponsorship packets last month for our emphasis at church.  I'm so happy to report that 22 of them have found sponsors!  I only have 3 packets left....and I REALLY don't want to send them back to Compassion without sponsors.  So if you will indulge me for a moment I'd like to tell you more about these three precious children.

This is Brandon Enrique Az Hernandez.  His birthday is February 15, 2003 and he lives in Guatemala.  Brandon makes his home with his father and his mother.  Gathering firewood, running errands and cleaning are his household duties.  His father is employed as a laborer and his mother is employed as a laborer.  There are 6 children in the family.  As part of Compassion's ministry, Brandon participates in church activities and Vacation Bible School.  He is also in primary school where his performance is average.  Soccer, playing with cars and art are his favorite activities.

This is Andrea Victoria Gaspar Mendez.  Her birthday is June 15, 2003 and she lives in Ecuador.  She lives with her father and her mother.  Her duties at home include making beds and cleaning.  There are 4 children in the family.  Her fatehr is sometimes employed as a laborer and her mother maintains the home.  Andrea participates in church activities.  She is also in primary school where her performance is average.  Playing house, playing with dolls and hide-and-seek are her favorite activities.

This is Francis Kokou Alosse.  His birthday is February 2, 2006 and he lives in Togo in Western Africa.  Francis lives with his father and his grandmother.  He is responsible for helping in the kitchen, running errands and cleaning.  His father is sometimes employed as a farmer and his grandmother is sometimes employed as a farmer.  There are 5 children in the family.  For fun, Francis enjoys soccer, bicycling and playing games.  He attends church activities and Bible class regularly and is in primary school where his performance is average.

Through sponsorship these children will have new opportunities to learn and grow physically, mentally, and spiritually.  If any of you (not just Hope Community members) would like more information about sponsoring any of these kids or more information about sponsorship through Compassion in general, please contact me.
