Hi,
It’s so sad to think that something like education is so inexpensive in U.S $s, yet so expensive in other countries.
But, Compassion brings hope to these precious children and their families!

Love,
Andy and Miranda – In Him

Thanks so much for your post. It’s stories like this that help me to remember why I am a sponsor through Compassion. Merci!

Beautiful. My eyes stung a bit, I’ll admit. I would have sobbed if no one had paid her debt. Having never financially been in such a situation, sometimes it is harder spiritually to imagine the immensity of God’s paying our debts for us, which was a long more than a bottle of water. I think this story puts it into a little more perspective for me.

Thanks Brandy. I read in the stories we get so often about children being sent home, but I didn’t know what that really looked like. The shaming impact that has is so awful.

And now I am sobbing in my living room. In a good way. I think.

wow. I love the way you bring life to the stories and experiences that you write about. Thanks for posting Brandy. Or should I say, “Merci,” for your heart of mercy.

Brandy, you made me cry. It was a good cry. Mad and glad all at the same time. I’m glad we do what we do, because it makes such a difference.

Hi Brandy,

What a powerful post! It’s wrong that a girl’s educational future can be crushed for less than the cost of a liter of water. That’s why Compassion’s work is so powerful!
