Friday Feature!! - Sakina, Steffan, Eva, Jessica, Pabitra, Manju, Ana, & Jenny

In honor of human trafficking awareness day I am featuring children that are at greater risk of being forced into the sex trade. Learn more here and here. The following children were chosen for four reasons:
1. They live in areas Compassion has identified as prone to exploitation and abuse
2. They are girls
3. They are between the ages of 7 and 13 (high risk ages)
4. They have been waiting for sponsors for a long time
Please help save one of these girls today.

Bottom line is - any child living in extreme poverty is at-risk of abuse and exploitation and Compassion is saving them every single day. If none of these kids spoke to your heart, I invite you to find one that does. And if always, if you are unable to sponsor a child, please pray for these children, their safety, and that they find loving sponsors soon.
