Compassion international mentors 1 million children around the world.
In 1991, Compassion International accepted me into their sponsorship program.
My neighborhood is characterized by high incidence of HIV/AIDS, teen pregnancy, etc.
I was able, alongside 500 others, to be discipled.
I can look back with humility at where I have come from.
My sponsor committed $1/day for 11 years.
After I finished my program, I had the opportunity to come to the United States. I graduated in 2006 from college. I am currently enrolled in an MBA program.
As I look back, with a mother who could not afford to put me into a middle school, I am very grateful to Compassion. I am not unique among the 500.
If every child is given an opportunity, teh poverty that we see around the world can be something of the past.
