Approaching a significant milestone in my life, I thought to myself "What better way to celebrate this jubilee birthday than to embark on a great challenge while supporting an organisation I truly believe in?” Compassion UK is a Christian charity that provides life-changing support to release children from poverty. Through Compassion UK, you can sponsor a child providing them with school uniforms, regular nutritional meals, health checks and support from the local church. This sponsorship enables these children to overcome the emotional barriers of poverty, obtaining the education they require for a bright future.
As someone who loves God and has always had a heart for seeing children thrive and rise to seize opportunities to develop, I have supported Compassion UK for several years now. What is particularly special about sponsoring a child through Compassion UK is you have the opportunity to journey with your child, to build a lasting relationship (through letter communication) and see them grow to become the leaders they were called to be.
So on the 1 March, I will be climbing mountain Kilimanjaro (never thought I would be saying this!), to bring hope and a positive future to children living in poverty-ridden areas. I believe all children should have the opportunity to live their dreams and I want to give them the support to do so.
I would love your prayers for myself and the rest of the group taking part in this challenge. If you are able and willing to contribute to this cause, please donate or sponsor a child on this page.
Thank you for your support!
