Tuesday's Child

Tuesday's Child

Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for his living,
And the child that's born on the Sabbath day
is bonny, blithe, good and gay.

I am going to start a new series HERE, called Tuesday's child. Hopefully I will be a little more consistent than I normally am :) No promises on which day this will actually appear either, though I will shoot for Tuesdays, for obvious reasons, except for this time, because I really want to find these kids sponsors. I am going to feature seven kids each week that are in need of Compassion sponsors, and a little bit about how you can change the world, one child at a time. HERE we go....


Fica, age 17, lives with her father and her mother. She is responsible for carrying water, gathering firewood and sewing. Her father is not employed and her mother maintains the home. There are 6 children in the family.

For fun, Fica enjoys playing jacks, swimming and singing. She attends church activities, Bible class and Vacation Bible School regularly and is in high school where her performance is above average.

I am just blown away by this young lady's poise in this picture. I am hoping she finds a sponsor that will encourage her to pursue her college education through Compassion's Leadership Development Program.



Whisley Snipe lives with his father and his mother. His father is sometimes employed as a laborer and his mother is sometimes employed. Whisley Snipe works at home carrying water, caring for children and making beds. There are 4 children in the family.

For fun, Whisley Snipe enjoys playing a musical instrument, basketball and playing with cars. He attends Vacation Bible School and camp regularly and is in primary school where his performance is average.

I have to admit, his name just cracks me up, and look at that smile!!!




Define lives with her father and her mother. She is responsible for carrying water, gathering firewood and teaching others. Her father is sometimes employed as a teacher and her mother is sometimes employed as a laborer.

For fun, Define enjoys ping pong, singing and telling stories. She attends church activities regularly and is in kindergarten where her performance is average.

This family lives on an average of $3/month...... enough said!



Your sponsored young woman, Rubyni, lives in the Vidva Ratna Villa Girls Home. Her duties include carrying water, buying or selling in the market and cleaning.

Singing, art and jumping rope are Rubyni's favorite activities. In middle school her performance is average and she also regularly attends church activities and Bible class.

This beautiful girl is without family, can you be the one who makes her feel loved?



Fidele, lives with her brother and her sister. She is responsible for carrying water, washing clothes and helping in the kitchen. Her brother is sometimes employed and her sister is sometimes employed. There are 4 children in the family.

For fun, Fidele enjoys singing. She attends church activities and Bible class regularly and is in primary school where her performance is average.

One of my sweethearts from Togo, can't imagine her older brother and sister trying to hold the family together after the death of their parents.




Fabio, lives with his grandmother. He is responsible for making beds and running errands. His grandmother is sometimes employed.

As part of Compassion's ministry, Fabio participates in church activities. He is also in kindergarten where his performance is average. Playing with cars and playing group games are his favorite activities.

I just love this little guy, and his grandmother for taking him in! He is adorable, might he live up to his namesake??


Emanus, lives with his father and his mother. His duties at home include helping in the kitchen. There are 5 children in the family. His father is sometimes employed as a farmer and his mother is sometimes employed as a farmer.

For fun, Emanus enjoys soccer, singing and bicycling. He attends church activities regularly and is in primary school where his performance is average.

Don't adjust your computer screen, and yes I can count. It just didn't seem right to post one twin without the other. It would be awesome if they were sponsored by the same person, family, or workplace!


Emanès, from Haiti, lives with his father and his mother. At home, duties include helping in the kitchen. His father is sometimes employed as a farmer and his mother is sometimes employed as a farmer. There are 5 children in the family.

As part of Compassion's ministry, Emanès participates in church activities. He is also in primary school where his performance is average. Soccer, singing and bicycling are his favorite

A New Beginning

When you sponsor a child with Compassion, you change a child’s life — forever! Your activities.
support changes every aspect of your sponsored child’s life. Children in Compassion’s program have the opportunity to thrive spiritually, economically, socially and physically. Compassion is committed to helping children in desperate need grow into fulfilled, Christian adults.

When you sponsor a child with Compassion, you help shatter the cycle of poverty. You change the world — one child at a time. Compassion’s long-term holistic approach, along with your encouraging letters, will give your child hope and a new beginning.

What could be closer to God’s heart? Sponsor a child today!

You can release a child from poverty in Jesus’ name.

More than 22,000 children younger than 5 die from poverty-related causes that often are preventable and treatable. You can help turn these numbers around. Your $38 monthly sponsorship helps provide your child with life-changing benefits that include:

nutritious snacks or meals

educational opportunities

health and hygiene training

medical checkups

the caring embrace of a local church

the message of God’s love through Jesus Christ.

Sponsor now! Be the answer to a child’s prayer.

Your life changes too.

You will be so blessed over the years as you build a relationship with your child through letters, photos and prayers. And Compassion can even help you visit your child in his or her country. The relationship between a sponsor and a child is powerful and unique. You will be inspired and encouraged for years to come!


Please be sure to check back and let me know if you are an answer to prayer and sponsor a child. If none of these children are the one for you, please check the Compassion website, as of right now there are 2505 children waiting for sponsors.
