“…dear sponsors, I greet you in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ, hoping you have had a Marry Christmas and wishin this New Year would be of great blessings for you and your families. My names i Milena and I’m Yuredssi’s tutor, writing on her behalf because she doesn’t write very well yet. She wants to tell you that on Christmas she stayed home sharing tasty food like ‘hayacas’ and ‘bunuelos’ with her family, and she had fun playing with her cousins. She also went to see the Christmas lights and fireworks. The girl wants to thank-you for the gift you sent her through the Project. She would like you to pray for her to do well in school this year. We say goodbye with blessings. Milena, tutor, on behalf of Yuredssi…”

Compassion UK
Compassion’s Child Sponsorship Programme is the heart of Compassion’s ministry to children living in poverty and aims to disciple, equip and enable children to develop into fulfilled and responsible adults.
The Child Sponsorship Programme is operated through a Child Development Centre which is run in partnership with a local church in the child’s community. Child sponsorship is a one-to-one relationship between a sponsor and a needy child living in desperate poverty in the developing world.
The faithful financial support of the individual sponsor equips the child for the future by providing for their core needs-spiritually, economically, physically, socially and emotionally.
Compassion’s Child Sponsorship Programme offers: educational opportunities, including literacy and life skills training; health care and health education; and, if required, supplemental nutrition. Children are also given opportunities to hear and respond to the gospel.
The unique structure of the one-to-one sponsorship model allows sponsors and sponsored children to have input into each other’s lives by writing letters, and through prayer. Many Compassion sponsors also take the opportunity to visit their sponsored child.
