I’ve blogged before about our Compassion child Janeth.

Well, just a few weeks ago we received this letter in the mail from Compassion headquarters:

“Thank you so much for investing in the life of Janeth…
We have received unexpected news about Janeth. We have learned that she has stopped attending the Compassion program she was enrolled in. Since the benefits of your support are administered through this program, we have had to discontinue her sponsorship…”

This letter made me sad. I just wonder what has happened to her.

Since we had already worked the Compassion sponsorship into our monthly bills, I decided to find another child to sponsor.

Meet Ainembabazi Joan:

She is an 8 year old orphan. She lives with her aunt and there are four other children in her family. She is from Uganda. The average monthly income in her community is $3. $3 per month! Could you even imagine? How much can my measly $32 a month do? It increases their monthly income by more than 1000%.

Do you have an extra $32 a month? How about using some coupons, or cutting out Starbucks for a couple of days a month, or bringing your lunch to work a few times instead of eating out? There are more children who need sponsors. Will you step up?
