Hi, I am Helen. I live in Chesterfield, North Derbyshire and I am a children's Speech and Language Therapist. I go to St Chad's Church in Sheffield, where our God's Gorgeous Girls group made this great poster of a Compassion mountain, and my small group have given me lots of encouragement to join the Blood, Sweat and Compassion challenge. Trekking Mount Kilimanjaro with Compassion will be an exciting and life changing experience, and I am trusting God's promise to strengthen my frame (Isaiah 58 v 10 - 11) to get me to the top!
I am trekking Mount Kilimanjaro with Compassion to raise money to enable 4 students from Kenya to go to university. Under its Leadership Development Programme, Compassion select formerly sponsored children who excel academically and in leadership, and provide for them to go to university. Without Compassion, these students would not have the means to go to university, simply because of the geography of their birth. When the students graduate, they become Christian leaders in their area of expertise, and make such a difference in their countries and communities, and fulfil the potential that God has given them.
I feel privileged to be a part of the Blood, Sweat and Compassion challenge. Your kind sponsorship will help to provide the 4 students with university education, living expenses, Christian leadership training, and one-to-one mentoring, and will not only impact upon the students' lives, but also upon the lives of those in their communities and countries.
