There is a New Boy in Our Life

February 20, 2008 by Elaine

Okay, well if you haven’t followed Sophie and Shannon to Africa and back with Compassion, first, I am sorry that you have missed out and second, what bloggy rock have you been under this last week?

After reading a lot, crying, laughing, praying and crying some more I felt moved to do something as so many people have in these last several days. Tonight I talked to Tim and we decided to sponsor a little boy very close to The B Man’s age. Now he has someone new to pray for (!) and hopefully they can become pen pals. His name is Niwamanya Casbert and he has the sweetest face. I can’t wait to get to know him better. I hope to make his life a little better too. We have so much, it only makes sense to share it.

Another blogger, who I was introduced to while following the group to Uganda, Shaun, is motivating people to sponsor a child and to give, give, give! God Bless Him!

So, if you feel compelled, get yourself over to the Compassion site and sponsor a child too. Or, if you already sponsor one, head over to Shaun’s site and spread the news. There are SO many children that need our help, hope and prayers.

    That is fabulous! Good for you!
    My parents have sponsored many kids and always frame their picture and put it next to all of the pics of us kids. So cute. 🙂

    Good for you! We sponsor a little girl in Ecuador… she is precious. We have so much, it’s heartbreaking how little they have.
