I can tell anyone who might be interested that the percent of each donation that gets to kids through Compassion is astounding. You would be amazed at how few organizations can get 80 cents of every dollar right to the need. I am blown away by the integrity and good stewardship of Compassion. These stories ‘on location’ are amazing too. </p> <p> Thank you so much for sharing and for rekindling my own flame for what you guys do. I’m going to go write to my sponsored kids right now. Blessings on the rest of your time there. Bob and I are praying for you! </p> <p> Megan </p> Hi Shaun and Fellow Bloggers,

Thank you so much for sharing and for rekindling my own flame for what you guys do. I’m going to go write to my sponsored kids right now. Blessings on the rest of your time there. Bob and I are praying for you!

I admit that I have been skeptical of sending money to sponsor a child in the past (not necessarily via Compassion, just in general). So many so-called charities simply use the money for admin costs. </p> <p> I’m a friend of Shannon’s and I’ve been following everyone’s blogs closely since she left on Sunday. I can plainly see the impact Compassion has and I’m grateful for it. Y’all are really doing a wonderful job. Keep it up. </p> Thank you for spelling this out.

We finally did it. We are now sponsoring our own little girl in Uganda and I am so excited to add her picture on our wall so we can remember to pray for her and her family daily.

Thanks for doing this trip.

God bless
