My sponsor child, Rhazzel, is in the Philippines. It's been almost 6 years, since she couldn't write any English, to her telling me this year that she wants to be an engineer. Absolutely proud.

Hopelessness. What a insanely simple, yet insanely complex and multifaceted way to describe poverty. Wow.

Thank you for elevating the voice of our neighbours living in the context of poverty, I am looking forward to sitting down and watching this again with my teens to build their understanding and help activate their heart for others. May God abundantly bless the work of Compassion.

This is really really cool to watch. I wish I got to watch this at University, when I was studying Introduction to Development.

Very powerful, I got so much information from this. I also realized how much I have and that I should be very grateful, thank you Compassion Australia.

I found this perspective on poverty really helpful. Thank you. Also, this was beautifully shot and edited so to all those involved, thank you - your work does not go unnoticed.

So great to hear that you enjoyed the perspective in the Docuseries, will definitely let the team know your thanks! Looking forward to hearing what you think of Episode two - coming soon!

[@thehowletts7085]

I'm really looking forward to episode two. Excellent work - such a wonderful resource for growing in understanding and compassion.

[@CompassionAU]

Thank you The Howletts, we appreciate your support and hope you share this resource with friends and family!

I think a film like this, weighted to spiritual poverty, rather than physical poverty could tip the balance and highlight our unmet spiritual needs here in the 'West'. In this way we are re-directed to God and away from money. In Him, we who are rich in physical resources, can give cheerfully to help those who lack physical resources, because we are rich in spirit. Wealth can be defined as ' a suitable accumulation of resources and possessions of value' But Jesus says "Labour not for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust with corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where moth and vermin do not destroy, and where theives do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is there will be your heart also"

Thank you for your reflections on Episode One, we are so excited to continue this journey with you as we launch further episodes. Stay tuned!
