Dear God ... Am I as ugly and fat as my sister says?
Sweet Dahna ... you are beautiful! God couldn't have made you more perfect! Sometimes our sisters and brothers are a little slow in catching on! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Children need to hear they're attractive, that they're not ugly but accepted and loved. That's where you come in! It only takes a couple of hours a week to make a lasting impact on a child's life. To become that "special friend" to a child who's lonely or neglected — a child who needs someone to say, "You are beautiful!" "You matter!" Connect with an organization in your community that seeks to mentor children. Be that Big Sister or Big Brother for a child in need. This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion for a child in your world.
