Thank you Laura B. for your info about the Birthday Gift. Our little boy (same age as our son) has a birthday in June. We are trying to teach our son about his "brother" in Bangladesh and what kinds of gifts we will give him (and why). This information will be very exciting for him. The boys are both 4 going on 5...cant wait for the day our son will be old enough to visit. It is hard to explain why we cant just fly him in to live with us! This is so great!

You can tell by looking at the first five characters of your child's number. Louise,

I was curious about the boys in the picture you sent. Is the middle one named Nobi. He's my boy! The photo I have of him is over a year old. Either way it is wonderful to see how such a small donation every month can have such a glorious impact. Praise God and Praise to our loving Savior, Jesus.

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 22:24:56 +0000 http://blog.compassion.com/?p=1894#comment-4645 My husband and I sponsor a boy in Bangladesh. We got a letter from him after we sent him a birthday gift. He said that he had never celebrated his birthday before. He got pants, shoes, a bat and ball, three wickets, a lantern, two chairs, a table, and some food--all for $25!! I am amazed at how the Compassion staff can make so little money go so far in helping these children. Thanks Compassion for all you do! My husband and I sponsor a boy in Bangladesh.

And thanks for the picture of the three boys in their new shirts! God is good, and these kids and their families are learning that...if they didn't know, before. Thank you, Amber and Chad!

Sometimes it is so hard for us Americans to wrap our minds around something that we just assume is normal, such as giving gifts. What a great reminder about how much we can learn from these precious children and also a great reminder about our perspective.
