1. A gift they really need.
From clothes to extra school supplies or food packages, over the next couple of weeks, Compassion project staff will be picking out an incredible 1.7 million gifts. "I got my first pair of shoes for Christmas," describes Ronnie from Uganda. "It was really exciting! We used to go barefoot to school before that."
2. A festive feast and the chance to just enjoy being kids.
Project cooks are busy sourcing ingredients for fantastic Christmas dinners that children will love. These smiles from previous years say it all!

3. The opportunity to learn about the birth of Christ.
This year, we're hosting 6,900 nativities where our church partners will share about the hope of Jesus with children and their families. Formerly sponsored child Richmond remembers how special this was, "300 children would come together to both celebrate Christmas [and] look into the year and see how good God had been. Christmas became a day filled with joy and laughter."
