Compassion!

So...can you believe February is coming to an end? These past two months of 2012 have flew by. We have been so busy, but it has been great! Alex and I have recently added a new little buddy to our family! His name is Orlin, he is 4 years old and he is from Honduras! We made the decision to sponsor Orlin through a program called, Compassion International.

Compassion helps children in desperate need grow to be a fulfilled adult. Through our sponsorship of Orlin, we are hoping to help change his life. Orlin will now have the opportunity to thrive spiritually, economically, socially and physically. I am so excited to get to know Orlin a little better! I know we are going to be so blessed over the years as we build a relationship with him through letters, photos and prayers. Maybe we'll even get to visit him someday!

If you are interested in sponsoring a child or you just want to learn a little bit more about Compassion International, below is a little information about the program and a link to the site!

"More than 22,000 children younger than 5 die from poverty-related causes that often are preventable and treatable. You can help turn these numbers around. Your $38 monthly sponsorship helps provide your child with life-changing benefits that include: nutritious snacks or meals, educational opportunities, health and hygiene training, medical checkups, the caring embrace of a local church and the message of God’s love through Jesus Christ."
