Defeating a pandemic

Compassion found me in the midst of

frustrations of poverty and death. I was poor

and had no hope for tomorrow. Compassion

enhanced my life and [the lives] of my

children. My life has changed after receiving

the nutritious food at the project. We have

a future. My son is getting all the necessary

medical attention. He is in school. Compassion

has strengthened us with hope. God bless

Compassion and sponsors.”

BR341 (4/14)

Each time Kajal gave

birth to a daughter,

her husband told

her she had given

birth to a burden.

With each

daughter came

the need for a dowry

they would never be able to afford.

Another daughter was simply another expense.

When Kajal discovered she was pregnant again, she knew

another daughter could be the end. Her mother-in-law had

already threatened to find her son a new wife, a move that

would leave Kajal alone with no income and no way to

support her children.

But while Kajal was still pregnant, she heard about

Compassion’s Sasa Vatsalaya Child Survival Program. She

arrived at the center frightened and malnourished.

“She had not been treated well at home. When she came to our center she was underweight and needed counseling and support. After being in the program, she delivered a healthy baby girl,” says Meena, the program coordinator.

Kajal named her daughter Angel. The child who had been

called a burden became a treasure to her family through

the support and education of the Child Survival Program.

Kajal now believes God has a plan for little Angel. Instead

of focusing on an uncertain future and an expensive

dowry, her family now celebrates the smiles and first

steps of 1-year-old Angel.

The Create Compassion website is full of downloadable resources for engaging youth and college students, such as videos, posters, presentations and even a success kit.
