today i received a letter from my sponsor child in El Salvador!! it's so cute, he draws me little pictures, this time of his house (made of green aluminium and tin), some trees and a little flower that unfolds in a cool way and has a secret message hidden inside!! it takes a couple months for letters to be translated and delivered which means that we need to send christmas cards now! thankfully shops like wesley owen and marks and spencers are slightly insane and have already started displaying christmas stock, a process which distressed me no end when working in Wesley's since it was still the summer!!!
so if u are looking for a great way of spending a tiny amount of your monthly income/ student loan, sign up with Compassion and support a child! The money you send will support and pay for all the neccessities your child should have, including education, health care, food, clothes, vocational training, social and emotional care and spiritual care too!
And it's not just about sending money each month! Compassion encourages you to build a relationship with your sponsor child through writing letters/emails which are translated! it's such an encouragement to hear from the child who is actually benefitting from your sponsorship because you really get to see the difference being part of the Compassion programme makes to their lives!! plus, you get really cute pictures of them- last year wee Erick sent a photo holding a toy car and wearing new shoes that like, a fiver i sent had bought him!
it's amazing, the price of a night out can make such an impact on someone else's life.
