hannah's family

As we've mentioned before, Compassion allow their sponsors to send birthday gifts in the form of a cash amount. The gift money is sent to the relevant project where the staff liase with the parents of the child and the child themselves to determine how they would like to spend the money. A typical item that is purchased for the child's birthday might be a mattress, some maize or rice, and a pair of shoes. Hannah's family had decided to buy a goat on two different occasions and we were able to see them on their property. This is something that Compassion encourage with the parents as it allows them to build up a sustainable income for themselves.
