Every child sponsored through Compassion has dreams and hopes for the future. They are encouraged to write these in a personal workbook called ‘My Plan for Tomorrow’. My Plan for Tomorrow is a place where children of all ages can write down their vision, mission, purpose and goals.
Denis Condo Flores is 18 years old and really found it helpful to think through a clear plan for his future.
Denis has been sponsored since he was 7 years old. “What I like the most is that at the project they teach us to do what we learn at school or what we do in any place, but with God. If I wasn’t here I don’t know what I would do regarding God, I don’t know if I would have looked for Him before or if I would find Him later. I also learned to serve with my studies and will later serve with my profession, that’s the most important thing, what helps me the most until now,” says Denis.
When Denis first started filling out My Plan for Tomorrow, it was like self-discovery. The questions helped him get to know himself.
“There are questions about what you want to do in the future. After some time you look at it and review what you have done. I feel very happy to accomplish the objectives or sometimes I realise I am changing something so I have to guide myself with that. It has been a very useful planning tool for life,” says Denis.
Denis is following the path he traced for himself while depending on God for every step. He wants to be the best but is holding onto God’s hand. Denis’ goals from My Plan for Tomorrow are not very far away from being achieved; he is accomplishing and living his plan today.
