Claire had chosen 10 children who live in Nyundo, Rwanda who were looking for sponsors. She was overwhelmed with the response from those in the service with over 70% of those attending becoming sponsors (a usual response is around 10%). I’m delighted to say that 7 of the 10 children have now got sponsors, but 3 are still waiting. If you’d be interested in finding out more about those children please do get in touch with us or with Compassion directly
