You can make a difference to poverty

I want to explain how my family and I know we are challenging poverty every single day.

We are making a difference in the life of one girl in Ethiopia, called Etsubdink Tsegaye.

She is 9 now and I have been sponsoring her for the last 4 years through the work of Compassion UK.

Compassion provide health-care, education and resources and a knowledge of the love of God through church projects all over the world.

I write to her every now and again - and she writes back keeping us updated with the things that are taking place in her life. Photos I have received over time have shown how she has grown and my family are really blessed to hear about how she is doing at school and the various cultural celebrations that take place.

If you have always wanted to do more, to make an impact and save someone from the bondage of poverty I can recommend going to their website.

I know we are all worried at the moment about the world's economic climate - but where Etsubdink and the thousands of children waiting for sponsorship live there are no opportunties for work, facilities for welfare, healthcare or even the security we enjoy - it is all relative.

Go to Compassion's website now and make that impact today - deliver a child from the chains poverty and help them become nation changers.

You too can help to change the world one child at a time.
