If you've hung out around me very long, you know I have a passion for kids. I especially want to help children without a voice of their own. To that end, I sponsor 2 Compassion International kids -- Kayirangwa and Margarita.
Christmas is coming and in the last two day I've read 2 posts from Compassion International and Christmas for Compassion kids. Some kids, like Kayirangwa and Margarita have sponsors like me. They will get presents and a letter. Unsponsored kids will still get something from people who give to the Christmas fund but they won't get a letter. This is hard for them to understand.
Please read these two links: Christmas for unsponsored kids and How you can help!
Basically, you have the opportunity to send a letter to an unsponsored child and let them know why God loves them.
I'm going to turn it into a give away of a Christmas book for kids with a grown up theme (A Tale of Three Trees). If you participate a card (follow the directions in the second link), leave a comment below and say "I wrote!". December 1st, I'll select a winner. Be sure to leave an email too so I can contact you. (If you write more than once, I'll enter you more than once! Let me know how many you send.)
Help me out. If you have a blog could you post a link to this post or tweet it or facebook it etc.? You will be my hero.
Wouldn't it be great if the letters were like the loaves and fishes with more left over than what they started with?

We have written out about 30 cards so far, but we are sending some that we picked up at the Dollar Store. Our family finances make it so that we couldn't send many of the Dayspring cards, but can send dozens and dozens of cheaper ones. Here is the info to send your own cards: http://meeshimama.blogspot.com/2010/10/christmas-cards-for-unsponsored.html Hope it is helpful!
