Join us in sponsoring children in San Marcos, Guatemala
With your help, we can make sure every child at the Amiguitos del Rey and Corona de Gloria Child Development Centers have a loving sponsor. These precious children are already receiving medical, nutrition, education and spiritual assistance at their centers, but unlike the other children they lack a sponsor. They eagerly await the day they receive their first letter, and we hope that letter comes from you!

Where Do These Numbers Come From?
In 2008, Dr.Bruce Wydick, Professor of Economics and International Studies at the University of San Francisco set out to determine the impact of international child sponsorship.
Dr. Wydick’s study focused on 1,860 formerly sponsored children from 16 Compassion development centers. These once sponsored children were compared against 3,704 of their unsponsored siblings. To ensure the data was unbiased, his team also studied the lives of 2,136 non-supported families in the communities of these development centers and 2,444 individuals from nearby villages where Compassion support was unavailable at the time of research.
By the end of the study, data was collected on more than 10,000 individuals in six developing countries. 207 international sponsorship programs exist today. Compassion® was the only organization to provide information to Dr. Wydick.
Through a relationship with a local church and a caring sponsor, a child is able to discover his or her true value.

“By sponsoring a child through Compassion I have received blessings I never expected and found a personal way to intervene in his life, tell him he is loved, and help him dig his way out of this poverty that threatens his life every day. I write to him, and I get letters back from him. This entire journey with my sponsored child has given me more personal growth, introspection, and blessings than I ever imagined possible.” Jennifer, Indiana USA

“I started sponsoring a child when my daughter was young. She was the one that wrote to our sponsored child and really learned what it was like to be a part of someone's life that was very different from her own. I have watched the children learn and grow throughout the years and have always felt connected to them and their community. Compassion keeps me up to date on what is going on at the different facilities including sponsor trips to where my children live. They are an awesome organization.” Chris, Huntington Beach CA
