Meet my little ones!
I recently had the wonderful opportunity to "adopt" two children through Compassion International. Meet my little ones!
Damaris "Dama" Baya
Dama is 5 years old and lives in Kenya. Art and running are her favorite activities, and she also sings in the church choir! She is one of 8 children, and her birthday is May 8th. Isn't she beautiful?!!
Erick Mbeva Musa
Erick is 7 years old and also lives in Kenya.(I just HAD to have him when I saw how he spelled his name! haha!) Bicycling and running are his favorite activities. His birthday is November 16th. Isn't he adorable?!
Both of these precious children live in an HIV/AIDS affected area of Africa. I don't yet know if either of them have HIV or AIDS, but it is something their region deals with daily. Both their families struggle to make money- usually only making around $20 a month! Through Compassion International, I will be able to sponsor these two children until they are 18-22 years old. I'll be able to write them letters and get letters back, and hopefully someday I can go to Kenya and meet them!
Everything I've read and heard about this organization is amazing! It's faith based and gives these children opportunities to grow mentally, physically, and spiritually- making sure they all hear the gospel! If you'd like to sponsor a child of your own, just visit: www.compassion.com
Please keep Dama, Erick, and their families in your prayers!
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." - Matthew 19:14
