Thank you for posting. I was one of those 29 sponsors. This trip changed me and I'm forever grateful. I just stumbled across the words from the communications manager. Thank you for posting.

His parents alternated between Hong Kong and India and he has lived in both places. When we saw Slum Dog Millionaire, he said the slum scenes brought back a lot of memories. I can only imagine how much harsher the reality is. When I mentioned that I had a little boy from India amongst my sponsor packs, he said he'd been thinking about sponsoring a child. He later asked if he could take a closer look at the child pack. I hope he will decide to sponsor this little boy. From what he's said, India is truly a land of contrasts = from the extremely rich to the extremely poor, from extremely beautiful landscapes to the horrors of the slums. sadly, he said that because of the dominant religion, those born in poverty believe that it's all they can ever be. I'm so glad that Compassion is there to remind the children that though they may be born in poverty, they are children of a loving God, joint-heirs with Christ and precious in his sight. Thank you for sharing this blog with us. I don't sponsor from India but if my friend decides to, can't wait to here about his experiences and what God is doing in the life of his sponsor child.
