How can that be??

Sherri with kids in Topeka.  That's Sophie, the competent and efficient hostess, looking up.
 

 

We met with a lively group of church kiddos during a Focus Moment in Topeka, KS  last Sunday.   We only managed to capture a few of them in the picture since the little ones were on the move every second!  The best part was when I asked "How many of you go to school?"  The older ones politely raised their hands in answer.  When I asked "How many of you ever plan to go to school?" the little ones came alive, jumped up and down, waved their hands and smiled all over.  Lots of enthusiasm and anticipation for going to school.  When I explained that many children in other countries do not ever get to go to school they looked really perplexed obviously thinking How can that be?  I totally agree:  How can that be?

The kids all wanted to do something to help so they are now busy following scavenger hunts in their homes to discover "luxuries" they have that the kids in Zambia do not have.  They are then planning to "tax" themselves and send the donation to HealthEd Connect to help kids go to school.  Many thanks to Beth Marolf for the invitation to share with the kids.  We loved it.
