		<description>I actually caught my breath when I saw some of those pictures!  I loved all of them...  Each is special in its own way.  :o)

That idea of making cards out of the childrens&#039; artwork is a good one...  (hint hint  lol) Will they ever do it again?  I&#039;d love to buy some!!!  

I&#039;d also LOVE to work at Compassion...  How wonderful for all of the people that get to spend time there!  :o)</description>

		<description>Excellent point Chris!!!  It is good to realize that I am not the only Sponsor or Advocate or Sponsor who has visited their Compassion child.  There are many &quot;Palm Trees&quot; on this island we call Compassion. In fact we could even say it is many islands with many Palm Trees that make up many forests.  But yes you are very right that we need to sometimes take a look at all the amazing things Compassion is doing!!!</description>

		<description>Wow! I am impressed by the artwork from all of the children! Each piece of art reflects the thoughts and imagination of its artist. It&#039;s like looking into the minds of these children and seeing what they are seeing. It&#039;s delightful!

Thanks, Chris, for sharing these special works of art.</description>

		<description>This is really neat. One of my Compassion children is quite an artist too. I made a video of some of her work, when I saw her last July.

		<description>I love to see the art work created by Compassion-assisted children!  Several years ago, I received a small number of note cards and envelopes; the front of each card was a reproduction of a drawing or painting by a sponsored child.  I loved them, and I hated to see the last one go out the door, addressed, stamped, and out of my hands.  I keep hoping Marketing will do some more (hint, hint!).</description>

		<description>Fabulous idea to keep all of Compassion&#039;s employees plugged in to the mission. I love the creativity.

Thanks for sharing, Chris. My heart is energized.</description>
