Does Compassion Work?

By Chuck (Sharing Compassion)

I am often asked, "Do Compassion's programs really work. Does it make a difference in a child's life?" I have written of my own experience and seeing the difference it has made in my sponsored children's lives. However, maybe I am biased...

Actually, I am not- there are countless stories from sponsors, advocates, even children about how lives have been changed.

Compassion has a program known as, "The Leadership Development Program (LDP)." This program identifies future leaders within the sponsorship program and offers them a chance to attend the University and further their education. Similar to child sponsorship this is the next level.

I offer here a YouTube video of Michelle Tolentino, a former sponsored child and a graduate of the LDP. She talks about her life in poverty and the impact that Compassion had. She is now doing graduate work at Moody. She is an excellent testimony to the fact that the programs do work!!! Sit back for about seven minutes and decide for yourself.
