It's Compassion Week at On The Path, where we're highlighting the incredible work of Compassion Canada!

This week, Cheryl sits down with Ria Kalaw — a proud Compassion alumna whose story is a powerful testament to the life-changing impact of hope, sponsorship, and God's faithfulness.

Born and raised in Baguio City, Philippines, Ria grew up in poverty and often felt unseen. Everything changed when she joined the Compassion program through her local church and was sponsored by a university student named Alvina. Today, Ria serves with Compassion Canada and sponsors a child from the very same Compassion centre where her own journey began.

In this inspiring conversation, they explore:

  • How sponsorship helped Ria discover her worth and God-given potential
  • The life-changing impact of encouragement, prayer, and being seen
  • Why investing in children can transform entire communities
  • What her journey has taught her about faith, purpose, and generosity

Ria's story is a beautiful reminder that one act of compassion can change a life forever. If you've ever wondered whether one person can make a difference, this conversation will leave you inspired and hopeful.

Listen now and discover the power of hope, faith, and generosity.
