Today we learned about schools in the Sudan and made school kits to be shipped through UMCOR around the world to help children learn. Surely God is at work in that effort! We also made our contribution to the Red Hand Campaign . . . an efort of the United Nations to abolish the use of children under the age of 18 as soldiers in war. do you know that the United Nations estimates that as many as 250,000 children are still being used as soldiers in some way in armed conflicts? Our messages for peace will be sent to our United Nations representatives to voice our hope that every child will have the privilege of growing up without war. We learned that a part of our responsibility as Christians is to be a voice that speaks up for other people who don't have the blessings we know! Thank you God, for giving us courage!
