For some years, I have been involved with Compassion International, an organization linking sponsors in developed nations with children in need in developing nations. One of Compassion's programs that I admire most is the Child Survival Program. It provides holistic care to pregnant mothers and newborns emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Recently, I was reading a post on Compassion's blog about a mother in Ethiopia who suffered tremendously before receiving the care she needed all along. Her story will touch your heart. To read it, click on:
