Today is a Special Day...

...Because:

1. I don't have homework for the very first time in a month.

2. This marks the first time I've blogged two days in a row in awhile.

3. I don't have homework for the very first time in a month.

I thank God everyday for the education I have that millions of kids don't get, but it would be kinda a little teensy bit nice if they laid off on the homework a bit. :P

Anyways. That is not the point of my post. The point of my post is this:

Sideways... sorry. :$

Nine sweet little kids looking for a sponsor just like you! Let me tell you about them. Half of them are from The Horn of Africa, and the other half are from the Masbate, Philippines, Jhon and Julius's centre, and the same island as Florianlyn. Let me tell you about the ones from Africa today, and the ones from the Philippines later on. :)

Kalembe definitely dressed up for the occasion of photo day. She looks real cute with her bald head and her purple flowery dress. :) A little shy, kind of sad, innocent little eyes just say, "Sponsor me!" ;)

His desperate eyes say that him and his 7 [yes, that's right, seven!] siblings need us... Will you answer that need???

Four kids that need hope, help, compassion, love, peace, joy, faith, JESUS. And right now, those things can come in the form of YOU. If you want, email me and my mom at compassion@mamaof2greatkids.ca to sponsor one of these darlings. 

Check back tomorrow for those kids from Masbate... They're just as precious! ;)
