Dear God . . . I want to be a doctor and help my mother see again!
Densis, I'm proud of you, buddy! I have no doubt you'll be a great doctor. And what a blessing you already are to your mother. This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. One of the greatest investments you can make in the life of a young person is to let them know you believe in them and expect great things from them. It's the basis of Compassion's Leadership Development program — to earmark promising young people in poverty who will be sponsored for university training to become their country's leaders, doctors, nurses, businessmen and women, teachers, responsible parents. One U.S. senator said, "If children are given the necessary tools to succeed, they will succeed beyond their wildest dreams!" This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion. Make an investment in the children of the world!
