WRITE TODAY"When I told Jose about [his] Christmas gift, he couldn't stop smiling and jumping around the house. It is happiness that you can't describe when you can't bring those kinds of gifts to your child," says Jose’s mum, Magdalen, from Guatemala.
"I am very thankful that I receive a Christmas gift every year. And this year I am so happy to receive my gift. I will save it until Christmas so I can open it with my family around," Adds eight-year-old Jose.

Some of the questions you may have about sending a greeting or giving to our Christmas Appeal.
We know that children in our programmes love to celebrate Christmas, and with more than 2 million children registered in Compassion projects around the world, it takes quite a while to get all the preparations in place!
Inviting supporters to contribute from September and write a Christmas greeting by the beginning of November gives us enough time to process, translate and arrange delivery of all our sponsors’ cards.
All Compassion-supported children, including your sponsored child, will receive a Christmas present this year. All donations to the Compassion Christmas Appeal are pooled and distributed amongst all our projects to ensure every child will be supported and encouraged during this challenging season. Our project staff hand-pick appropriate gifts for each child. They may choose clothing, shoes, blankets, bed Linen, toiletries, books or food packages.
Yes! Our website allows you to send the same message to all of your sponsored children. When you go to the Christmas writing pages, you’ll be able to select multiple children and then choose the design and write the message that you want to go to all of them.
To use this function, you must be logged in to your myCompassion account. You can, of course, still send individual messages to each child if you prefer.
