Kindness Activities for Kids

No matter how old kids are, there are kindness activities they can do.

• Smile and say hello to people you see. Count the number of people who smile back.
• Surprise a friend or family member with a handmade card.
• Donate a toy from your collection to a child in need.
• Write a kind note on a sticky note and leave it for your mom.
• Hand craft a bookmark and give it to your pastor.
• Ask to rake your neighbor’s leaves or walk her dog.
• Tell someone a joke.
• Send a letter to your Compassion sponsored child.

Kindness activities for kids don’t have to be expensive or complicated. Think of simple ways to be kind to someone else. Take time with your kids today to brainstorm simple acts of kindness the family can do together.

WE HELP CHILDREN FLOURISH!

Through a relationship with a local church and a caring sponsor, a child is able to discover his or her true value.

For $43/month, a sponsored child receives:

LOVE

that unlocks the potential within their heart

EDUCATION

to defeat illiteracy and provide critical skills

SUPPLEMENTS

to protect against malnutrition

HEALTH CARE

to fight back against disease and sickness

CHRIST-CENTERED GUIDANCE

through a local church to overcome fear and hopelessness

RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES

to protect from crime, violence, and danger

In a world where nearly 400 million children live on less than $2.15 a day, child sponsorship is a strategic way to provide children with compassion, resources, and hope.

WHAT COMPASSION SPONSORS ARE SAYING

GOD SAID TO BE DISCIPLES

We are to take care of those who can't take care of themselves. GOD called my husband & I nine year's ago to take care of a child in Kenya. To show how GOD did work in our life because we decided to follow his calling, he went before us. My husband had lost a child before it was a year old, 30 years ago, I lost my mother, in 2000. We asked GOD to show us a way thru this child to help heal our hearts. newton mirthi was it. He had the same birthday as our lost family members, we knew it was GOD.

Started with two, and now at 4!

We started our sponsorship after a friend "hooked us" by selecting children with the same birthday as ours. As a special "present" to our 90 year old mother we sponsored another child with her birthday and just recently we sponsored a fourth child for a church friend who had just graduated. We are certain that there will be more down the road - we could not think of a greater gift than to "give someone a child".

From Tragedy to Hope

May 4 was a date that I dreaded. In 2006, I was in a horrible car wreck and for the first 2 years after that, I dreaded that date. In my prayer time one day I asked God to take this tragedy and show His Glory! I checked with Compassion and found that I could pick a child by their birthdate. I specifially found a child with a birthday of May 4th. Today instead of spending that day crying, I have a birthday party for my sponsor child. My life and her life have both been changed.

Yes, I would recommend Compassion to a friend.
