Blogging for Compassion in Tanzania

On May 4th, one of the ‘behind the scenes’ girls here at Totally Tots, Jolanthe, will be headed to Tanzania as a Compassion Blogger. This is an amazing opportunity and she is so excited to share with others the work that Compassion International does in the country of Tanzania.

We would all LOVE to invite you to follow along with Jolanthe’s trip as she travels with the rest of the team, visiting Compassion centers in Tanzania and sharing her thoughts, pictures and updates of her time there. You can follow along on her blog Homeschool Creations. The dates that the team will be in Tanzania will be May 6th through 11th.

Can we ask you to pray for Jolanthe and the team as they travel {far, far away}? Pray for health, safety, and those that they will be with during their time.

If you would like to know more about sponsoring a child with Compassion International, just click on the banner below for more information. Sponsoring is not only a blessing to the child that you sponsor, but also to your family as well. Over the years you develop a relationship with the child as you exchange letters, pictures, and most importantly the love of Jesus.

If you click over and see a little {heart} next to a child picture, that represents a child that has been waiting 6 months or longer for someone to sponsor him/her.

Thank you SO much in advance for your prayers and support for Jolanthe!

Compassion Bloggers in the Philippines!

The Compassion Bloggers team is in the Philippines right now. I have followed the Compassion bloggers since the 2008 trip to Uganda, and have followed this time too!  One blogger I always follow is Shaun Groves-who leads the trips.  This year 2 of his posts hit my heart in a deep way…

Totally Tots & Compassion

We are thrilled to share with you that Totally Tots is now a monthly sponsor of the Child Survival Program in Kenya!  We knew we wanted to do something like this when Jolanthe and I joined together to lead this blog, but we just hadn’t started yet.  With the many inspiring bloggers in Kenya now, we thought now was the perfect time to begin!

The Child Survival Program is different than sponsoring a child, we felt it was the perfect fit for a blog to sponsor, since there are many of us.  We invite you to be praying along with us for this amazing program and the beautiful babies and mothers who are blessed to be a part of it.  Here is their mission…

To rescue infants at risk of dying by providing nutritional information to the pregnant mothers, assisting in the birth, and providing prenatal and postnatal health care and nutrition assistance.

If you’d like to learn a bit more about the program we have chosen to sponsor…

If you are interested in joining us, you can sponsor the Child Survival Program monthly for just $20!  Or, you can give a one time gift.  We am thrilled to be able to partner with this awesome program.  Compassion rocks!
