Sometimes I get so jazzed by what people are doing in the world to make a difference. I got a letter the other day about what's going on at my daughter's Compassion child's development center in India. Here's a sample:

Girls don't have to get married in arranged marriages before age 18, because Compassion takes care of them.

Kids get to sleep off the pavement, because Compassion provides them a mat and bedding. The sleeping bags shelter them from the rain and cold, too.

Kids get one full meal a day, which they never had at home.

Kids carry clean water home from the Compassion center; otherwise they would have none, or would have to walk miles and hours each day to get water.

Kids have drug addicts, alcoholics, child abusers, and criminals for parents. Compassion provides them with Christian mentors who show them another way. Every child hears about Jesus.

OUR LETTERS ARE CHANGING THE WORLD. A 12th grader almost dropped out of school because of failing grades. One letter from a sponsor kept the child in school.

I want to change the world. I am doing it every day, through Compassion.
