July 10, 2008 - The Compassion blog is a behind-the-scenes view of Compassion at work and at play. We’re offering exclusive looks at our child development ministry around the world, and this is who you get to travel with.
It’s not an all-inclusive list, or even an exclusive list. We’ll have guest contributors from time to time - maybe our executive leaders, probably employees and leaders from our partner countries, definitely our country staff and even some of you - that’s what SpotLINK is all about.
This list will grow. It’ll be dynamic. People will come and go. But for now, we’d like you to meet:
Brandy Campbell is a feature writer for Compassion. Those newsletters you occasionally receive with your child letters? She writes them. And she works really hard on them, so you should read them! When Brandy’s not writing, she’s cooking and tripping over her own two feet—an often dangerous combination. She regularly blogs about her escapades, as well as her culinary adventures.
Chris Giovagnoni (Joe-van-yo-knee) is the Internet Sponsor & Donor Engagement Manager. He’s still trying to figure out if that means he manages an online matchmaking service for sponsors or if he helps connect and involve sponsors with Compassion through social media and social networking. Either way, he keeps this blog humming. All the mistakes are my his fault.
Tim Glenn is Compassion International’s US Advocacy Director. His job is to educate the Church in the U.S. about the biblical mandate to care for children and the poor. Is that a cool job or what? Tim started his relationship with Compassion through music. He’s part of Compassion’s independent music artists roster. You can hear some of Tim’s music on his personal blog, Tim Glenn Music.Tim is married and a proud father of his beautiful baby boy Morgan Glenn…and an avid Dallas Cowboys fan. His family sponsors a girl from the Philippines.
Anthony Njoroge was born 24 years ago in one of the largest slums in Kenya, Kawangware, famously known for drug abuse, prostitution, crime and high levels of poverty. He is the fifth-born in a typical Kenyan family, typical being where the mother is the bread winner, head of the home and the pillar of the family. He was enrolled in Compassion’s Child Sponsorship Program at age six and graduated from the Leadership Development Program on March 7. He earned his degree in Information Technology at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology.
Becky Tschamler (Cham-ler) works on the International Communications team. Basically, her job is to be the communication link between our field countries (where the kids live) and the partner countries (where sponsors live) when a crisis occurs. She’s been on staff since November of 2000 and frequently leads tours of Compassion’s Global Ministry Center. If you’re ever in Colorado Springs, stop by and surprise her with something you learned on her personal blog – These Words of Mine. When Becky isn’t at work you’ll find her outside with her yellow lab, Havana.
Amber Van Schooneveld (Skoo-nuh-veld) works in the International Program Group (IPG) as a Field Assignments Program Manager; she’s the editorial manager for all the great stories and articles that IPG receives from our country staff. That means she gets to work with an amazing team of writers and photographers around the world. Amber loves hiking, nature, donuts (good donuts, that is), and cooking. She is the author of two books, Party Divas and Hope Lives. When she’s not working at Compassion, she’s at home writing her third book, hiking with her husband, or trying out a new recipe.
