The Compassion Experience Visits Muskego This Weekend: Learn What It's Like to Live in Poverty

MUSKEGO, Wis.— Compassion International, a leading authority on child sponsorship which releases children from poverty globally, is bringing its tour, “The Compassion Experience”, to the Muskego area this weekend: August 26-29.

The event will educate visitors about the realities of life in poverty as well as provide an international experience to visitors who may not ever have the opportunity to travel abroad to a developing country.

The Compassion Experience
The four-day event will be set-up in the parking lot of St. Paul's Lutheran Church at S66 W14325 Janesville Road in Muskego from August 26-29.

There, visitors will be invited on a self-guided journey where they will be immersed in the lives
and stories of two children living in Uganda or Bolivia. Each child’s story starts in hardship but ends in hope.

The experience includes over 2,000 square feet of exhibit space, featuring replicas of the homes and environments of these two Compassion beneficiaries.

The event is free and family-friendly.

“We built ‘The Compassion Experience’ in order to really bring the developing world to America,” said Mark Hanlon, Compassion International’s senior vice president of global marketing and engagement. “When people think of poverty, they often think of the lack of things, the lack of stuff, the lack of money. Those
are all symptoms of poverty. The real issue of poverty is the lack of hope. Through our holistic child development program, Compassion stirs hope in children. And you’ll see that hope come to life at this event."
