Compassion Bloggers In Uganda! :)

This week (and still at the moment - till the 31st) a team of people are in Uganda on the five year bloggers anniversary trip. They've gone back to Uganda, the first country that a team of Compassion bloggers went to and are having some amazing experiences.

They are each blogging daily and their blog posts are addictive! They are a window into another culture, a connection with sponsored children and their communities, and a way to understand more deeply what child sponsorship is and why it's amazing to be part of it.

Sponsor Bracelets! :)

My friend Lizzie makes beautiful bracelets that represent each of the countries Compassion works in. She has bought beads from each country that represent the different countries and weaves them together into a bracelet. She is doing it as a not for profit venture but she does get a little profit from each bracelet which all goes into supporting her Compassion International children. 

The bracelets are also a wonderful way to talk about Compassion's work and/or your sponsored children as each bead represents one of the countries that Compassion work in. You can get a get a bracelet with beads representing your specific sponsored children too; for example, if you had two sponsored children, one in Bolivia and one in Tanzania, then you could get a bracelet made with a Bolivian bead to represent your Bolivian child and a Tanzanian bead to represent your Tanzanian child. :) They're also a great bonus reminder to pray for your child/ren. 

Urgent Philippines Appeal!

In the wake of the Typhoon that hit the Philippines, the people of that country are in desperate need of medical care, shelter, food, clothing, and other necessities as well the knowledge that others are caring for them across the world. Two great ways you can help with this is to donate to Compassion’s Philippines fund and to pray for the people in the Philippines. Any amount of money you’d be able to give would be appreciated as every bit goes a long way to helping these people have their immediate needs met and start the recovery. This is a good opportunity to show love not only to our Christian brothers and sisters over there but also to our international neighbours and to be able to offer a beacon of hope through our heart-felt donations and prayers.

If you want to make a donation, no matter how small it might seem, here is a link to the Compassion website or just click on the picture on the right!

Here is also a link that contains updates about Compassion’s child development centres in the Philippines and specific prayer points, so far all the Compassion sponsored children from the Philippines are safe and accounted for – praise God!
