This child is a Compassion sponsored child. We met him and his mother the first day we were in Port-au-prince, when they told us their house was one of the many destroyed by the massive hurricane earlier this year. When the waters were rising, the mother held her new born child, but the water eventually became too strong and she lost control of her child. As the waters destroyed their home, this boy managed to grab on to a tree and held himself there praying for God to save him. He held on through the entire storm. Unfortunately his younger sibling didn't make it.
We traveled far to come to the sight of his old house to shoot video and I really wanted to snap this picture. The thing that struck me about this picture is the expression on his face. In the midst of the storm, not to mention the conditions of Port-au-Prince, this kid has hope... Real Hope.
Because of Compassion, this child is not bound to just living a life of poverty, and he knows it. If you'd like to learn more about Compassion, please visit www.Compassion.com.

Mae fy chwaer wedi dod yn ol o Nepal lle buodd yn byw mewn mynachdy yn Kathmandu. Mi ddoth a bwda bach efydd efo gwynab aur a du yn ol i fi, dwin meddwl fod on un or petha tlysaf dwi rioed wedi ei weld. Dyma y Buddah of Compassion.
My sister has just come back from Nepal where she lived in a Monastry in Kathmandu. She bought back a little bronze statue of the Buddah of Compassion for me as a gift. I think its one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. The Buddah of Compassion made a promise not to become a full Buddah until everyone else in the world could be a Buddah too.

"Compassion" -2017
kindness, compassion, and generosity are amongst the many Spiritual basic needs that all of us truly need...that Humanity may always be Spiritually nourished, to grow, and to flourish...this rather gives light that Humanity is indeed needy...for everyone to care for each other as a family...that we may rather enjoy the beauty of peace...
"Before we can generate compassion and love, it is important to have a clear
understanding of what we understand compassion and love to be.
In simple terms, compassion and love can be defined as positive thoughts and feelings that give rise to such essential things in life as hope, courage, determination, and inner strength.
In the Buddhist tradition, compassion and love are seen as two aspects of the same thing: Compassion is the wish for another being to be free from suffering; love is wanting them to have happiness." - His Holiness the Dalai Lama
"Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight: always try to be a little kinder than is necessary."
