Recently, I was asked to be a part of the Compassion International speakers network. Whenever I speak, I share about the need for child sponsorship around the world. The cool thing? I’ve been sponsoring Compassion children for over twenty years. What a blessing it’s been for me and my family. When Aidan and I venture to Ghana, we’ll have the privilege of seeing a compassion project in Accra. I can’t wait to send y’all pictures!

If you’re like me, you’ve been overwhelmed lately by the needs of the world. Earthquakes, genocide, war, cyclones: all of these make us feel like we have little to offer the world. But today you can make a decision that will change the world for one small child. I’m going to place three children here on the blog. If you would like to sponsor them, please email me directly at maryedemuth at sbcglobal dot net. Let me know which child you’d like to sponsor, along with your mailing address, and I’ll send a packet your way. Please only say yes if you intend to sponsor the child. If the child is not picked up, he/she goes back into a holding pattern. So please email only if you’re serious. Once you receive your packet, you’ll have ten days to fill out the form and send it in (postage paid) with your first check.

Sponsorship is $32.00 dollars a month. That provides food, clothing, and schooling for your child. You can correspond with your child via letters or use the electronic feature over at Compassion.

Here are three girls who need sponsorship. If these girls don’t represent the countries you’d like to help, email me. I also have children from these countries:

1. Bolivia: Edith
2. Dominican Republic: Isaac
3. Ethiopia: Aynalem (girl)
4. Burkino Faso: Olivier
5. Nicaragua: Masiel (girl)
6. Mexico: Wilfrido (boy)
7. India: Amlesh (boy)
8. Bangladesh: Sogor (boy)
9. India: Sujata (girl)
