Tuesday's Child 9/10/2011

Every week I try to highlight 7 children on the Compassion International website that are waiting for sponsors.   I can not tell you how profoundly your $38/month and your investment of writing letters, and praying for your child can affect a child's life. Help breathe the truth of love into a life and help defeat the lie of poverty!

Can you be the one to give hope to these kids in need of sponsors? 

Jonas lives with his father and his mother. His father is sometimes employed as a farmer and his mother is sometimes employed as a farmer. Jonas works at home carrying water, running errands and cleaning. There are 4 children in the family.
As part of Compassion's ministry, Jonas participates in church activities and Bible class. He is also in primary school where his performance is average. Soccer and playing group games are his favorite activities.

If you go to the Jonas' page on Compassion, there is an adorable video clip of him!

Edem lives with his uncle. He is responsible for washing clothes. His uncle is sometimes employed. There are 10 children in the family.
Edem is not presently attending school. Soccer and playing group games are his favorite activities. He also attends church activities and Bible class regularly.

This guy really could use someone to breathe hope and love into his young life!

Yma lives with her father and her mother. Her duties at home include helping in the kitchen and cleaning. There are 2 children in the family. Her father is sometimes employed as a laborer and her mother is sometimes employed as a seller in the market.
Playing with dolls and listening to music are Yma's favorite activities. In pre-school her performance is above average and she also regularly attends church activities
.
This little one is just plain adorable!
Peterson lives with his father and his mother. His duties at home include carrying water and caring for animals. There are 5 children in the family. His father is sometimes employed as a farmer and his mother maintains the home.
As part of Compassion's ministry, Peterson participates in church activities. He is also in pre-school where his performance is average. Soccer, hide-and-seek and playing group games are his favorite activities.

Lwanga lives with his father and his mother. He is responsible for carrying water, buying or selling in the market and washing clothes. His father is sometimes employed and his mother is sometimes employed as a seller in the market. There are 3 children in the family.

Lwanga has polio and is crippled in both legs. Please pray for him and be assured that your sponsorship helps him to live a fulfilled life.
Can you imagine how difficult it must be for this young man to carry water for his family? Really praying someone sponsors him before I do!
Martha lives with her aunt. Her duties at home include carrying water and gathering firewood. There are 6 children in the family. Her aunt is sometimes employed as a seller in the market.
For fun, Martha enjoys jumping rope, hide-and-seek and playing group games. She attends church activities regularly and is in primary school where her performance is average.

Something about Martha just speaks to me of an indomitable spirit. Another child without her parents, living with relatives that could use someone to make her feel loved and special! 

Mugabo Ejide lives with his mother. His duties at home include carrying water. There are 8 children in the family. His mother is sometimes employed as a farmer.
As part of Compassion's ministry, Mugabo Ejide participates in church activities. He is also in primary school where his performance is average. Soccer is his favorite activity.

Being a single mom, my heart reaches out to this mother trying to keep her family together in the midst of poverty and hunger.
