Taking Photos of Children Isn’t an Easy Task
The person in charge of taking child photos has a challenging task. Imagine shepherding 30 active children while trying to take pictures for their sponsorship packets!
An Improved Way to Write Your Sponsored Child
Compassion is rolling out a new and improved way to send some love to our sponsored children! This all-new online letter-writing tool allows you to create bright and beautiful messages with 33 different background templates to choose from.
Kids at Play
The real fun of Instagram is seeing the photos that our friends share with us. Here are three of our favorites with the theme kids at play.
As a child advocacy organization, we believe that children should be kept safe and protected in all situations, including online.
Hugs
No child should live in poverty. No child should have to grow up to wander the streets and beg not only for money but for someone to tell them they are worth a hug.
Red
Poverty is hopeless and depressing. But light shines in the darkness. And color brightens it. Vividly!

Jesus Laughing – Poverty Transformed
The first time I ever saw this picture of Jesus laughing, I was transfixed.
There’s life in it.
And even now, I still respond to His expressive joy. I laugh. He laughs. He knows how I feel!
This idea that Jesus knows us isn’t just a concept; it’s actually for real (Whoa!), which…
Sponsor Letter Photos (Part II)
It’s been eight months since my last sponsor letter photos post, so I felt it was high time to raid our digital library again and round up another batch of photos showing sponsored children reading letters from their sponsors.
Rwandan Genocide: 15 Years Later
In 1994 I was 16.
I was in the midst of my self-absorbed teenage years – a time in my life when nothing seemed as important as what kind of clothes I was wearing, and my daily mood was dictated by whether my current crush had said “Hi” to me in the hallway between classes…
Looking for Food
Luz is going to the farmers market today. She is taking her 3-year-old daughter, Vanesa, with her, to search for food. Thousands of mothers for many years have come here daily to find food for their families.

Sponsor Letter Photos
Right before Thanksgiving, I was rootin’ around in our digital asset management library and saw some child photos I absolutely had to share. Photos of children reading letters from their sponsors.
Compassion’s Photo Calendar
Remember this picture?
Chris asked your thoughts about it . . . way back.
It’s popped up in some of our advertisements and in some of your blogs, too. It’s truly striking!
And now it’s showing up somewhere else — in a new calendar of Compassion photography that you can purchase from QOOP.
We’re offering this calendar, at…
I’m Going to Mexico
I’m going to Mexico! And I want you to come with me.
I was left behind once, and I’m grateful it wasn’t in the “missed the Rapture” sense. Because of that experience I will do my best to make you feel like you’re in Mexico with me.
I’m going to Mexico as a co-leader on a…
Cute Baby Pictures
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…
Focusing on the Leadership Development Program
See the photo? The one at the top of the page. It was done by one of you.
Eric Chapman (aka chappyphoto) took it. He’s a friend we met by way of our Flickr group.
We liked his photos so much we asked if we could use one in our blog header. Then we asked if…
With God All Things Are Possible
Hey! I have new photos of Amisi. I was so blessed to meet him on my trip to Uganda last month.
He’s such an ambitious child! As soon as I gave him his new coloring book, he was on a serious mission to get every page colored.
I bought him some ice cream, but…
