Visiting their sponsored Compassion International child

On Sunday Tim and Helena headed back to Kigali early so they could meet with their Compassion child. Their family has been sponsoring her for 7-8 years.

Yvonne has a twin sister also sponsored (Yvette). They live with their grandmother in a very small three room home with a dirt floor in Kigali.

Compassion works in 28 developing counties with high poverty rates around the world. In Rwanda they have about 250 offices across the country which each look after 230-300 children. They provide schooling, medical support, training and education as well as a community resource and a place for kids to gather on Saturdays. There are 63,000 Children in Rwanda that are part of the Compassion program but only 70% of them have a sponsor.
