Dear God . . . I thank you because I learned to knit purses to sell, to help my mother!
I'm so proud of you, Marysol! I know you're a great helper to your mother and I bet your purses are the best-looking ones in the market! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Children are capable of accomplishing amazing things. But they need our help. A leading child psychologist said, "On one hand, we seriously neglect our children, on the other we seriously overindulge them." Education, for example, is an important consideration for parents in the U.S. In poor countries, millions of children aren't even given the chance to attend school. An alarming number never even learn to read, even here. Check out your local library programs. Volunteer your time for a child who desperately needs to learn to read! This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion for a child in need.
