Like the wise woman of the village, or something! (Notice I did not say, "wise *old* woman!) I agree about the CSP. It is one more program that makes Compassion's overall ministry so utterly unique and far-reaching. I wish there were a CSP project attached to every CDSP project we have; some day, perhaps!

First off, Edison is the absolute cutest baby name ever. Second, I can't emphasize enough how important I think the Child Survival Program is. That time in the womb and the first year of life is so crucial for a child's future health and well-being. If an infant is malnourished, there are cognitive, developmental, and physiological delays that can effect a child the rest of their life. A malnourished infant has a compromised immune system that mimics a person with AIDS. A starving infant's body has an incredibly difficult time fighting off disease of any kind. To everyone in blogland: the Child Survival Program is such a worthwhile program. If you love babies -- if you care about moms -- make this program your mission! Gayle, I love this post!

It's kind of like (forgive me in advance) stepping in dog poop. After having made the mis-step, you sit on the curb and find a suitable stick to scrape it off. Regret is when you take that stick and shove it into your back pocket so you can be reminded of the event all day long. We all need to remember to leave the stick behind (no pun intended). God bless.

I have visited a few CSP's and they're awesome! I remember some things about our childrens' infancies (now in their twenties) like it was yesterday! While we were at a CSP in Haiti, the Doctor happened to stop by. She said that the CSP is like a "red flag" for the community--if a contagious disease is found in the CSP, they will go out and immunize every child in the community. That got me to thinking about how far-reaching Compassion's ministry really is. Very well said! I have visited a few CSP’s and they’re awesome!
