From their website: Compassion International is a Christian child development organization dedicated to releasing children from poverty. Our ministry to children is twofold: We work through local churches to provide child development programs to deliver children from economic, physical, social and spiritual poverty, enabling them to become responsible, fulfilled Christian adults. And we speak out for children in poverty – informing, motivating and equipping others to become advocates for children.
The similarities in the mission of Compassion and Rotary were so beautifully explained by our speakers. They gave a personal glimpse of how they make time with four children, full time jobs, and busy lives to sponsor three children through Compassion International. It was so moving and inspiring. The impact of our $38 a month on a child somewhere in the world is unbelievably impactful. Compassion International is an amazing and world changing Christ based program. We appreciate this opportunity to learn more about this great opportunity for service. Program Sponsor and website contributor: Rotarian Michelle Garcia.

Truly enjoyed the program - they did great...and I love how the focus of both Compassion International and Rotary seem much the same. They were a delight to meet.
