Heading to El Salvador

Monday, May 12th, 2008

I am going to be in El Salvador this week on a “Familiarization Trip” with Compassion Internaltional.

Compassion is one of the sponsors of the Church Basement Roadshow this summer. As part of the tour we are going to be giving people the opportunity to sponsor a child. This trip is a chance to learn a bit more about what they do and allow is to shoot some video for the presentation.

I will be providing an opportunity  for people to sign-up for sponsorship here on my site as well, so if you are interested keep your eyes open for that.
