The scenario: Sitting at the dinner table and listening to the kids whine and complain. The lecture began 'We are fortunate', 'There are others who do not have this food/house/toys.....'. We decided to go online and look for videos to show an example of Poverty. My husband typed 'Save the Children' and this video came up and struck a cord (the Christmas music also drew us in).
Our family sponsors a child from Compassion International. Her name is Dipa and she lives in Bangladesh. My boys and I write to her and she writes back and tells us what she does with any extra money we send her for her birthday. It's really a neat program! Bengali is a cool written language : )
A New Englander who discovered her passion for Science at a young age and her passion to be a Stay at Home Mom and Foodie a bit later.
