This Christmas season, the Grade Ones are raising money for the organization, World Vision. This is a voluntary activity and any donation amount is appreciated. We are growing our “global hearts” as we accept donations to purchase a dairy goat and chickens for a family in need somewhere in the world. We have had several thought provoking conversations over “what” would be most beneficial to a family- soccer balls, blankets, or chickens and a rooster? “If we “feed” the children, then they won’t need medicines, so we should give them food.” “They don’t use money; they trade. We should give them an animal so that they can have something like food to trade.” Wonderful evidence of problem solving and thinking!
We raised 100 dollars and purchased a dairy goat! (Thanks to Mr. N, our SEA for “topping” up the money pot!) The payment has been given to World Vision. Thank you for supporting this worthy cause and helping to “grow” compassion in our children. The world is a better place because of YOU!
