Dear God . . . Is there such a thing as bad luck? Do I have it?
You don't have bad luck, little friend. But I can certainly understand why you feel life is unfair. When those of us who can do something about poverty choose to do nothing — others suffer! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Most of the people living in poverty are children. It leaves them open to abuse and exploitation. It inflicts their lives with poor health, malnutrition, and impaired mental development. Breaking the cycle of poverty will take an investment not only from governments, but from each one of us. Be informed. Look at Web sites. Know what your elected officials are doing for children. Lead a discussion group at your church. Sponsor a Compassion Sunday. Volunteer your time! This is Wess Stafford. Take every opportunity to speak up with compassion for a child in poverty!
