Compassion Changes Everything
I was competing in Ironman St. George, arguably the most difficult Ironman course in the world. I’ve been a competitive Ironman triathlete for years and I was having one of the worst races of my career.
Psst! Don’t Keep This a Secret
We’re going to let you in on a secret something we’ve been working on for a while. It’s something we’re very excited about, and we think you’re going to love it too. It marks the beginning of a completely new online Compassion experience for you. And it’s happening soon.
A Precious Perspective
One sentence from a little girl an ocean away immediately and forever changed my perspective.
The Mystery of the Blue Corner
Chances are, you’ve noticed it. It’s found in the upper right-hand corner of Compassion’s brochures, child sponsorship packets, posters, promotional materials and letters from our sponsored children. For quite some time, that blue corner was a mystery to me.
Have you thought about where your child plays or eats or learns? Today, by way of our online community, OurCompassion, you can know.
At the age of 84, Richard had to move to a retirement village where there are people who can assist him. He had to leave his cats and his familiar life behind, so the only thing he had left was his sponsored child. Richard longs to receive letters from his “grandson.”

A table, a photo of a child, and a curious young boy all led us to a trip we never imagined possible!

Giving Up Coffee for Jordano
Our Contact Center recently received the following email from Sarah W., a brand-new sponsor. She sponsored her first child on March 25, 2011. We love receiving emails like this.
How Do You Stay in Your Child’s World?
As a Compassion sponsor I don’t want to only connect with my child when I get a reminder from Compassion. I want to be a sponsor who consistently prays for her children.

Why is Jesus Excellent to You?
“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” – 1 Peter 2:9 (NASB)
Thank You for Defending the Cause of the Weak
As a sponsor your whole relationship with us is one of focusing on others. But during the Christmas season your commitment to the children and families we serve is always magnified.
Not Guilty: Using Your Blessings for Good
No, it’s not fair that I was born in America instead of Africa. It’s not fair that I enjoy abundance while billions endure extreme poverty. But gosh dog it, I will not feel guilty for it. Moving forward, I resolve that it will empower me to work harder on behalf of those I care for…
Can My Sponsored Child Visit Me?
Child protection is something we take very seriously. We know that 99 percent of you would smother your sponsored child with love, prayer and encouragement.

The First Letter Builds a Cornerstone
The first letters are a cornerstone to building the new relationship between sponsor and sponsored child. These letters make the sponsorship commitment more personal, and now Vanesa and Alexandra will be waiting to hear back from their sponsors.

We Wish You a Very Merry Christmas
With undying gratitude to our Heavenly Father for seeing us through the year, and to you, sponsors, donors, and friends of Compassion, for your prayers, love and support in 2010 – Merry Christmas from Compassion International!
