Accounting Firm Sends Team to Rwanda

Warren Averett, LLC, a nationally ranked accounting firm, recently sponsored a team of employees to travel to Rwanda in partnership with Compassion International.

Warren Averett has been a partner of Compassion International since 2008, allowing employees the opportunity to sponsor children in Rwanda. Compassion is a global organization that seeks to meet the physical and spiritual needs of children in impoverished areas across the world. Warren Averett employees who sponsor children through Compassion give a monthly monetary donation to cover a specific child’s education, nutrition and other needs. Warren Averett team members sponsor all of the children in two full Compassion villages and some of the children in a third village, accounting for over 140 children.

In conjunction with the opportunity to sponsor a child in the Firm’s dedicated villages, Warren Averett also offers employees the opportunity to visit these sponsored children in Rwanda. In June, the Firm sponsored four employees, Clint Freeman, Marissa Marshall, Tiffany Johnson and Frances Boney, to travel to Rwanda.

They visited four Compassion villages: two of which are those sponsored by Warren Averett, one that the Firm hopes to sponsor in the near future and one Compassion urban center. This team of employees represents several of the Firm’s office locations across the Southeast—Montgomery and Birmingham, Alabama; Tampa, Florida; and Atlanta, Georgia. In Rwanda, Warren Averett’s team members saw the impact their individual contributions had in the lives of these children, and they also saw how contributing over time can truly improve the quality of life and change the course for these children.

Warren Averett is a proud partner with Compassion International and looks forward to continued support of the Compassion villages and children in Rwanda.
