Activity: Sponsoring a child through Compassion International

Group: Sonshine 4-H Club — Fond du Lac County

Date of Activity: ongoing monthly project

Number of people: 30 youth; 15 adults

Our club sponsors a child through Compassion International. We dedicate a regular $40 a month from our own fundraising money. Through our sponsorship, Karin is able to attend school and is provided some basic needs such as clothing or other family needs. Our club members have developed a connection and caring for this child in a very different part of the world.

We have learned a lot about compassion and the power we have to make positive changes and impact in the world. It has shown us how privileged our country is compared to other parts of the world and the opportunity that gives us to help empower others.
