Share your Compassion child sponsorship experience by creating a blog or linking your current blog to Compassion's Web site. Your personal story as a Child Advocate may encourage another person to reach out to a child in need through Compassion's Christian Child Sponsorship Program. What a blessing that would be!

Blog Content Rules
By creating a Compassion blog or linking your blog to compassion.com, you agree to the following blog content rules for your blog or Web site:
- Does not contain content that is pornographic or sexually explicit, libelous, threatening, harassing, abusive, hateful, embarrassing, offensive to Christians or links to such material.
- Does not contain or promote any chain letters or pyramid schemes or links to such material.
- Does not contain hate, violence or violation of any federal or state laws or links to such material.
- Does not promote a specific political agenda or political party. (Compassion does not allow our name or our ministry to be leveraged on behalf of any political causes.)
- Does not violate intellectual copyrights, trademarks or any other proprietary right of Compassion.
- Does not contain detailed information about the location of children in Compassion's program.
Child Privacy
To protect privacy and security, child numbers and project numbers should not be posted on the Web. In addition, bloggers should use only a child's first name if they are writing about matters of personal health — such as HIV/AIDS.
