If you’re a parent you can probably remember the hopes and dreams you had when your child first entered the world. You held that little one close and were probably amazed at the overwhelming sense of love you felt.
Imagine being a parent in a developing country. Do you think that such a parent would feel any less love than you did on that day? Of course not. So now imagine knowing that statistically your child could die during their first few years from conditions and diseases that are preventable in developed nations. Devastating.
If you could save the life of a neighbour’s child, would you do it? Would you make every effort to save them? So, who is your neighbour?
Today is Compassion Day. Radio stations around Australia are appealing for support for the excellent work carried out around the world by Compassion Australia.
Please take a little time to watch the video above and then head to the Compassion Day website to start saving little lives.
I saw the Child Survival Program in action in Dominican Republic back in 2008. It makes a huge difference. Compassion deserves our support today.
