First up is a letter from Veronika, who is writing to me on a template titled My Hopes For The Future. I love that Compassion encourages our children to think about the future. I was once told that children living in poverty are often unable to look to the future and there are many occurrences of children actually getting tearfully upset at the question, "what do you want to be when you grow up?" simply because they have never been able to look to the future. Their day to day lives are filled with worrying about how to make it to the next day. Organizations like Compassion help get rid of the day-to-day fear and allow children to think to the future. I love that.
Veronika is 8 years old and lives in Haiti. Her letter is dated April 10th, 2018.

This next letter is from Faith. This girl just amazes me. She has been through so much in her young life and her letters used to be so unhappy and you could just feel the sadness coming off the page. She really seems to have grown in her self-confidence and is growing into a wonderful young woman.
Faith is 12 years old, from Kenya, and she wrote this letter on May 26th, 2018.

Hello Kayla!
How have you been? I hope and trust that you are fine and doing good. On my side, I am fine, and I thank God for his care and protection. My family members are also fine and have said hi to you.
In my studies, I am still working hard so that I can achieve my goals in the future. I request to continue praying for me. I normally attend Compassion every Saturday and my teacher teaches me the Word of God and many other good things.
I thank you for the letter that you sent to me. I was glad to know how you are going on. I thank you, my dear, for all the support. You are a very special person in my life. I really pray for God to help you and protect you always. I wish you all the best and may the grace of God be upon your forever.
Bye and be blessed

We'll close out this post with a letter from little Kelvin, who is writing to me today on the My Project Learning template. I just love to hear what all of my kids are being taught at their various Compassion projects. I have such faith that the staff at each project are equipping my kids with important lessons for them to succeed not only now, but also in their adult lives, in the future.
Kelvin is 7 years old and lives in Indonesia. He wrote this letter on June 5th, 2018.
