Compassion Experience: Raising Awareness for Global Poverty

The kids don’t remember (it seems) the last Compassion event we attended, so obviously I need to make it a more frequent occurrence. . We learned about life in Kenyan poverty, food portions, and lacking food and safe water while walking through a tent and watching video on individual phone sets. It made it more real to see and hear the stories as told by a now grown up who once lived through it. . I don’t know how much the littles got out of it, but M stood next to me while I asked the event coordinator questions I should have asked years ago when we started supporting our child in Haiti. She was at least interested ;) . So this was a Compassion experience. There’s also the journey we did last time that was bigger. Both good for kids and us all to understand our world a bit better. Look up when there’s an event coming to your area.
