You know all those precious email forwards you get from your great aunt brimming with puppies and kittens and babies? The ones with soft music playing in the background and inspirational phrases slowly fading in and out of the screen, which you quickly delete from your inbox?
Well, I delete those too, but I think there must be something in the water here at Compassion, because I think I might be becoming one of them! Each time I receive a cute baby picture from one of our field countries, I call my cube mates over to my desk so we can ooh and ahh over their chubby cheeks. And these babies each have an incredible story behind them — babies whose lives have been changed and even saved through Compassion’s Child Survival Program.
So I couldn’t help making my very own cute baby montage for your viewing pleasure. (And I won’t make you listen to any soft elevator music … but I can’t promise that there won’t be puppies.)

Oh, but this is so much different because these babies have a story behind them (not like other babies don’t, but, you know) - now then, can I paste this into an email with hot pink font and send it to all my friends?
Such sweet ones here. Thanks for posting it.

Awww.
For the record, I missed the elevator music though.

Oh I just want to crawl into each of those picture and kiss those chubby cheeks! Amazing to see how healthy and happy these babies look esp. compared to the poverty around them!

There’s never a dull moment when a child’s picture is displayed for the world to see. What does it reveal? A chance. A start. Let the race begin.

Hopefully these babies will be chubby and cuddly. Please sponsor a child through Compassion.com. Saveing one child at a time by the grace of God.
