Either way, I'll sponsor, but I was curious as to where you got that number in the teens; is it a figure that Compassion gives you? I'm very confused, and I shouldn't be.

That's awesome! We've been sponsoring a little guy from Haiti but have found that the toughest part for us isn't the money, but creating the actual relationship by writing letters, etc. I've heard that's the hardest part for most people. Maybe you could encourage others in delving in and making time for their new "children" and not just send the money to call it good. (Yup, you guessed it, that was my latest personal conviction.) Woo hoo! That’s awesome!

I have to tell you that last week my family sponsored John Michael Flores from the Philippians. He's 3, just six months older than my little boy, Brady. We really felt convicted to do this after reading about your trip to Africa. Once we decided to do it, we wanted to find a little boy close to Brady's age so they could "grow up together," you know? Thank you so much for inspiring us! You're making such a difference! Hey BooMama! I have to tell you that last week my family sponsored John Michael Flores from the Philippians.
