The Compassion Experience?

[OscarQ]

Someone posted this is a local mom's group.  It's for all ages so I didn't @ it.

Anyone know about the Compassion Experience?  Good, bad or indifferent?  I thought about taking my oldest son but now I'm second guessing myself on the right thing to do.

Thanks.

I'm not a fan of Compassion International and would give this a miss.

IIRC, neither is @mx. I believe she indicated they give out entirely too much information on the children.

Okay.  I swear I googled GBCN and Compassion and came up with nothing.  But my spidey senses tingled so I figured I'd ask before booking it.  Glad I did.  Thanks.SaveSave

It was in a thread on sponsorship organizations on ML, I think.

I am generally opposed to sponsorship organizations, but mx and Moe, both of whom have more years and broader experience in the international development field than I do, were a bit more forgiving.

However, mx specifically singled out Compassion as an organization to avoid.
