Thank you, Galia for this story. These children in Bolivia are so precious. Compassion is doing a great work there. Many children are impacted and helped. I love the Bolivian projects!

21 dollars a month for her plus 5 children is terrible..Thank God for Compassions help! It is terrible though to see that even Compassions projects have been hit by the Global Food Crisis..

My prayer is that the next person who reads this post and is not already a child sponsor, becomes one.

I went on a Compassion Advocates trip to Bolivia in July, and was so moved by what I saw and experienced. When I read this blog entry, I remembered all those faces, and those families whose homes we visited. They were already struggling before the food crisis. I can’t even begin to imagine what it’s like for them now.

Thank you for continuing to share stories of families that have been affected by the global food crisis and other situations. This makes the statistics and information personal and I appreciate seeing where the donated money is helping.

I’m so glad that these children and their families are able to receive the benefits of the Compassion-assisted program. I’m also so sad that those benefits have had to be reduced, due to the global food crisis and price increases.

I was just wishing that I had $1 million to give to the GFCF, and then I realized that would be a mere drop in the bucket. But I still wish I had it to give.

Still…God continues to be good, all the time.

In this time of planning feasts and gatherings, this is a reminder of the world’s reality. We are keeping our menus simple this month and sending an extra donation to the global food fund. Thanks for sharing reality again.

What a sweet family! Thank you so much for sharing about these very real needs. I’m glad to know that Compassion is prepared (through faithful donations of others) to help meet these needs.
