Welcome

Welcome to the Advocates' tour to Ethiopia website.

Here you can keep up to date with the activities of our group of advocates as we travel to Ethiopia from the 20th to the 31st of May 2009 to see the work of Compassion.Advocates are sponsors with a heart for our ministry who volunteer some of their time on an ongoing basis to promote Compassion in their churches and within their spheres of influence.

The team will spend time meeting staff and children in projects, visiting the homes of Compassion sponsored children, seeing how the country office operates and meeting formerly sponsored children. We will try to update the site each day whilst we are in Ethiopia and we hope you find it interesting. Enjoy!

What a Day!


Today was the best! Tihun had travelled for 10hours yesterday just to see me. And she has 10hours journey back tomorrow and she is only 6. God had chosen me such an amazing little girl to sponsor - just perfect for me. She was so happy, confident and such fun. Never have I played so much football under the hot sun. Her ball skills were much better than mine! She threaded beads, whirled endlessly on the roundabout, blew bubbles in my face and laughed. And she is so beautiful. So many pictures of her to show you all. A very special girl whom I was so privileged to meet and pray for. With love to all my friends, Chris
