Compassion Can {Beyond Measure}. Thursday, March 24, 2011. Africa 2011: Child Slavery Rescue. In 2009, I joined the Bloom Book Club, where I met Tia.

Compassion Can {Beyond Measure}. Friday, May 09, 2014. It seems so fitting that this small jar would typically be used for preserves - something to contain and protect food that sustains and gives life. Right now, this one contains only small change. but there's nothing small about the change it will make. This is Jeya's Jar - a small jar our women's Bible Study group uses to collect spare change for Jeya. Jeya is a widow who takes part in the Family Support program. Through the His Hands for India.

Compassion Can {Beyond Measure}. Sunday, February 23, 2014. Ghana 2014: Building With Books. Do you have a childhood memory so strong that to this day, by simply concentrating, you can remember the exact smell of that environment? Do you remember the smell of a library? It was something that I took for granted as a child growing up in Canada. I don’t think it ever dawned on me until I became an adult that reading isn’t always a part of childhood, and neither is access to books. And about our trip *here*.

Compassion Can {Beyond Measure}. Thursday, April 30, 2015. June 30th, 1949 - September 13th, 2014. Photo Credit - Sebastien Benoit (son). As you may know, my beloved mama, Docile, lost her life in a drowning incident last September. Her death has been one of the most devastating losses we've ever experienced as a family, a loss that has also shaken her friends and co-workers to the core. Just as too much water can lead to death. so can too little. As a monument to her precious, generous life,. Child Slav...

Take Action for Jesus. Compassion International – My Story. Mexico Trip: Is Fair Trade Fair? January 26, 2014 in Uncategorized. Just over a week ago, I was standing on the top of a building. I tried to take it in. Each day felt like a thousand new experiences as I met wonderful people, as I tried to absorb what living in Mexico is like. Omar explained that if you are dark-skinned, you experience racism, abuse, and isolation. Yes, even in Mexico where the majority of people are the same complexion. This i...
