A few times I have wondered how sponsorship affects our children's families. I came across this video of how a family reacts when they learn their child has been sponsored. It just touches my heart, especially when they beginning singing. Check it out!
Also, check out this Compassion blog post: How Are Children Told They Have Been Sponsored?

Would You Drink 14,600 Gallons of Contaminated Water?
Did you know that, according to Compassion International, if you drink the "required" 64 ounces of water a day and live to the age of 80, you will drink 14,600 gallons of water! That is roughly the amount in your average pool, complete with a waterfall.
Now, consider the fact if every one of those gallons were brown with dirt, disease, and a whole bunch of disgusting, life-threatening things. That is the type of water millions of children drink every day.
