I am 22 years old and live in Northern Ireland.
As long as I can remember my family sponsored Compassion children and I can vividly remember my parents holding events in churches every year promoting Compassion UK and the work it does. When I turned 21 and began working full time, sponsoring a child was the first thing I wanted to sign up to and give back. I absolutely love the model of Compassion and how they show the love of God through actions, through providing a safe place for children, providing them food and an education but most of all teaching them who God is and how loved they are. What motivates me is that as much as I love a challenge and an adventure; as much as I love travelling, what will be motivating me is so much more than that, it will be for Milulu, my little 5-year-old girl in the Dominican Republic and all the little children that will be sponsored through Kenya 2018!
