Grade 4 students in the USA are preparing gifts for poor kids in Tanzania. They understand the sufferings of the Tanzanian children especially the orphans. Read the note below from Pamela who has initiated this program of sensitizing the children in the USA and she has a great heart for Tanzania and epecially the suffering orphans.

Living, Learning, Caring and Sharing.
What a wonderful afternoon ~ Thank you Mrs. Block and Mrs. Piper for allowing me to borrow to students to share with them how others live in our world. The simplicity of a handmade book is a difficult thing for a 9 and 10 year old to wrap their head around. Explaining that most children in Tanzania don't get to go to a store and ask their Mom's and Dad's to buy them that favorite toy or game for the Wii. First of all there is no store, no money, where would you plug your Wii into if there is no electricity?? These questions weighed heavy on the 50+ children I spoke with today. Life is not easy, but with their love and thoughtfulness, there will be that glimmer of hope for many who will receive these special books!!

I am so thrilled when I can share just a little bit with the young children here in the USA about life in Tanzania. It doesn't have to be a big splashy presentation, but a simple grab a spot on the carpet sit in a circle with the children share my stories, answer their great questions and plant a seed that someday might sprout!!

This was the perfect way to end a great week!!
