It must be so heart warming to meet your little boy. What an awesome video. Sponsoring kids is truly a joy.

@loveminky It really was an amazing and unexpected experience!

You don't see any TV ads for Compassion, because the money goes to the field, not to promotions. I have visited my sponsored child in her home in the Philippines, went to her church/project and met her family. Life changing. As long as God provides I will sponsor Felma until she ages out of the program.

@ReunionHawaii Thanks for all your hard work and dedication!

Awesome!! So nice that you got to meet the child you sponsor! Very touching! Didn't know they had floods every year! Reminds me of this saying from Dalai Lama "Even more important than the warmth and affection we receive, is the warmth and affection we give." Thanks for sharing Alex and Zsolt! Onward & Godspeed!

Sometimes when we see commercials/ads for sponsoring children we sit back and wonder...is this real..are the pictures of children real...are the dollars we send really going to the families...then we hesitate to give...

Thanks to Zsolt, Alex, Jerome...this video shows it is indeed real...real children/families in need...our dollars really helping to build futures for families. Thanks for showing us the rewarding experience sponsoring a child can bring. So glad Alex was able to meet Jerome.
