Haley Birdyshaw, a supervisor in our contact center, took a group of employees on an exposure trip to Guatemala. The trip was a life-changing experience.

I know what you mean! As an advocate for Compassion Canada, my trip to Colombia has really helped me when telling people about Compassion because I was able to see the results and work first hand.
Well said Hayley! Thanks so much for telling us, not only about your trip, but also about your jobs at Compassion.
Thanks so much, Haley! We really appreciate your sharing and your heart for these children! You make a difference for the sponsors, too!
