From age 12, Compassion sponsored children are encouraged to write

down their dreams for the future in a booklet called My Plan for Tomorrow.

Whether it’s to become a doctor, a farmer or a pilot, Compassion believes every

child should have the chance to dream big, no matter where they live.

This Kid’s Activity Booklet includes a My Plan for Tomorrow for your

own children or grandchildren to fill out with your help, as well as lots of

fun activities that will help them follow their dreams. Have fun!

“Teach us to

use wisely” ... ... “all the time we have.” Psalm 90:12, CEV

this story with

your parents!

Denis became a Compassion sponsored child when he

was just seven years old. When it came time for him to

complete his first My Plan for Tomorrow at age 12, he already

had a thousand ideas of what he wanted to do later in life:

fly planes, heal people with sickness or maybe even teach

children like himself! All Denis really knew for sure was that

he wanted to go to university when he grew up.

“Writing down your goals is like making a promise with

yourself,” says Denis. To Denis, the very best feeling was when

he reached a goal—like when he got a good mark in his

school exam. But if he missed his goal, that was OK too. He

just made a new one, and then worked really hard to reach it!

Going to university was one of Denis’ biggest goals. In his

hometown in Bolivia, not many children go to university

when they grow up, because they have to work to help

support their parents and because things like textbooks,

pens and rent can be too expensive.

But even though his goal sometimes felt impossible,

Denis worked as hard as he could at school so that, one day,

he would achieve his dream. And guess what? He did it!

Today, after years of hard work and

planning, Denis is studying his first year of public

accountancy/auditing at a university in La Paz, San Andres.

Denis says lots of things helped him along the way: his My

Plan for Tomorrow, his friends, his family and God especially.

So what’s next for Denis? “I dream about having my

own business one day,” says Denis. “And if I am good at what

I do, I might even get to travel one day and learn

other languages.”

Six years ago, Denis wrote down his dreams in his first

My Plan for Tomorrow booklet. Today, 18-year-old Denis is

preparing to see his dreams come true!

When Oscar from Guatemala decided his dream was to become a farmer, he

drew a picture of himself farming the land. Drawing a picture of your dream, and

taping it somewhere you will see it daily, is a great way to remember to hope for

the future and to keep working hard to see your dream become a reality.

To reach our dreams, we need lots of tools, like hope, love and joy, friends and

family to help us along the way, patience when things get tough, determination

to work through challenges, self-belief and, above all, we need God!
