]]> Meet Victoria. A 10-year-old girl living on the coast of Ghana. She lives with her aunt, Mercy. Madam Mercy’s name is fitting: Mercy took Vic in when her father abandoned her and her mother wasn’t emotionally able to care for her…she has also taken in two other nieces and nephews, on top of raising her own two children.

“I realized that if I do not do something we could lose Victoria…I have not regretted even though things are not too good economically. I get so satisfied just looking at how beautifully she is growing.”

Mercy sells fish and her husband is a fisherman. Life is not easy. Things would have been much more difficult but for the intervention of Compassion International through the Glory Assemblies of God Child Development Center.

“There was no way I could enroll [the children] into any school but for Compassion. My prayer every day is for the work of Compassion International to flourish in the life of these children; so that they too will be in a position to sponsor some needy children when they grow up. God bless you sponsors; may everything you do be blessed; thank you Compassion.”

Victoria goes to school during the week and spends eight hours at the child development center every Saturday.

Spend a Saturday with Vic.
