The Compassion Experience Field Trip

We got a small look into what life was like for two people in Africa.  Each 

student had the use of an ipod and headphones that led the way through

a short tour.  The tour explained what the child's early years were like,

the jobs they worked, the little schooling they may have received, how 

they helped their families, what their homes looked like, and how their life changed

once they had a 'sponsor family'.  

One of the children we followed had a job of dying thread using

very harsh chemicals.  It was very hard work, especially for someone

so young. 

They showed a 'compassion center' and spoke about that as well. 
A compassion center is a place of safety for these children, 

a place to go for food, education, love, and support.

There were letters the children received from their sponsor

families.

This is one of the lives we followed...a boy named Carlos...

...and his sponsor family who made such a difference in his life. 

Thank you all for your generous contributions so we can provide for the people of Uganda.
