How is a hand up different than a hand out?

When I work at a Compassion sign-up table, there are a few questions that I can guarantee I will be asked almost every time.

One such question is, "Why can't we send gifts to our child?  Why can we only send them money for Christmas and their birthdays?"


Today's Compassion blog post answers that question, but also a deeper question, "How is a hand up different than a hand out?"

Even if you are not a Compassion sponsor, this blog post will give you insight into how sometimes we can think we are doing good, but there may just be a better way to help.
