Today (Friday 28 May) has been designated World Hunger Day, and this provides a specific opportunity for charities like Compassion UK to highlight the needs of people of all ages who are caught in extreme poverty. One initiative that Compassion launched some years ago was to encourage British Christians to sponsor children in order to give them opportunities that they would not otherwise have, and among the children who were sponsored in the past is Jane’alem Sheikh, who talked with Premier’s Michael Fanstone. Michael asked him in what kind of situation he grew up in.
