Meet My New Friend Yelson

Recently Compassion sent me four child packets to find sponsors for.  I showed my mom all these cute little kids and one week later she felt God calling her to become a sponsor.  Yelson, a cute little 7-year-old, has such a precious little smile.  We decided to sponsor him this week.  I am so excited to get to know him!

Name: Yelson

Country: Dominican Republic

Yelson lives with his mother.  He is responsible for carrying water, running errands, and cleaning.  His mother is sometimes employed as a laborer.  There are 5 children in the family.  For fun, Yelson enjoys playing cars, playing ball, games and running.  He attends Bible class regularly and is in primary school where his performance is average.

Sponsor precious kids like Yelson Here

  1. Hi,
    I found your blog because you supported compassion too. :) Save the Children is just like you because they have compassion and are on a mission to help kids around the world.

    Did you know that it only costs 5 cents to cure a child with maleria? This is just one way Save the Children spends the money they recieve.

    I wanted to let you know about the More than Footprints campaign Trip Advisor is running to give away $1 million total to five great causes, including Save the Children. The more you vote, the more money Save the Children receives. Will you help us support Save the Children by voting for them and asking your friends and family to do the same? Here is the link: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Causes-STC?m=11507

    I will be blogging about the campaign through an approved Trip Advisor blog: (http://morethanfootprints.typepad.com/votesavethechildren/).
    Will you please post the widget up on your blog? The campaign ends November 9th, 2008

    Thank you so much,
    Wendy Huang
