[**Blue**View](https://blog.helmerinc.com) - Compassion Experience # Compassion Experience Posted on Oct 25, 2016 by Natasha Mazur ![compassion.jpg](https://blog.helmerinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog/2016/compassion.jpg?width=700&name=compassion.jpg "compassion.jpg") Helmer Scientific started partnering with [Compassion International](https://www.compassion.com/) in 1999 by sponsoring our first child Yetenayet Beheru in Ethiopia. She was 6 years old at that time. Now, in her early twenties, Yetenayet is a successful graduate of the program, equipped and inspired to live fulfilling lives. | ![compassion-Yetenayet-kindergarten.jpg](https://blog.helmerinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog/2016/compassion-Yetenayet-kindergarten.jpg?width=150&name=compassion-Yetenayet-kindergarten.jpg "compassion-Yetenayet-kindergarten.jpg") | | --- | | Photo of Yetenayet Beheru in Ethiopia | Over the years Helmer engagement has grown to supporting 36 children in 24 different countries around the world. Helmer employees drive the effort by building a relationship with their Compassion children and reaching out to them on a regular basis through letters, words of encouragement and gifts. ‘At Compassion we take a committed, [long-term approach to fighting child poverty](http://www.compassion.com/about/about-us.htm). Our one-to-one Child Sponsorship Program allows you to personally connect with a specific child in need and build a life-changing relationship. The Compassion initiative at Helmer Scientific is a great example of how companies can engage their employees in meaningful ways to make a difference for those who need support,’ says Jeanne Wilkinson, Compassion International’s National Director of Corporate Relations.
