Kids Get It!

Some people never seem to get fully engaged in alleviating suffering in our world.  But you can always depend on the kids.  They get it! 

Our grandkids this weekend were awesome!  Braedon, our 11 year old, carefully read the HealthEd Connect Annual Report Thanksgiving morning  He was especially concerned about the statistics regarding the number of orphans in Zambia, women dying in child birth in Congo, and number of people living on less than $2 a day in Malawi.  He summarized the situation by saying, "It looks like Zambia needs more parents, Congo needs Drs. and nurses to deliver babies, and Malawi -- they need a raise!"  So with that vision in mind, Braedon, Brogan, Kali, and Keagan all got together and made crafts the rest of the day to sell to parents and grandparents.  They raised over $75 with major donations coming from their own allowances.
