Completion Ages

Have you ever wondered just how old your sponsored child will be when he or she completes the Compassion program? Do you wonder how long you'll be able to sponsor and correspond with your child? Although each child is different (because their circumstances are different), here are the general completion ages for the different countries where Compassion works.

I've had this list for a little while so it was no surprise that my 17 year old girl in Nicaragua would be completing the program in October when she turns 18. I was, however, surprised to receive a letter informing me that our 18 year old boy in El Salvador would be completing the program when he turns 19 in December. It just goes to show you that these are general guidelines and that each person has a different story and life to live out.
