We were seeking an organization that is focused on ending children in poverty, well established, consistently performs with excellence and has a track record of efficiently deploying funds to children in a wide range of countries around the globe. Compassion International based in Colorado Springs met all our criteria and all that remained was to visit them in person and confirm what we hoped would be a partnership for our mission to France. Synthia has a huge passion for both children and travel and with Compassion having on going short term mission trips available for visiting sponsored children we decided that this would be perfect to try to invite French people and people in our French ministry to join us on trips to the kids.
The objective is to link the sale of homes through our French business (Maxwell International Properties) to the sponsorship of children with an ultimate goal of sponsoring 1000 children by 2030.
