Kate Bolduan recently wrote an article about kindergartners helping fight world hunger. I include an excerpt:
Students at Raleigh’s Brier Creek Elementary scooped, weighed and bagged thousands of meals.
It was part of Operation Share House, an international effort to stop world hunger.
Once the meals are assembled and the boxes are packed, the meals will be shipped overseas. In about a month, the meals will feed 4,000 children in Nigeria.
While it remains a shame that world hunger persists, I think we can all agree on the beauty of these children helping to put an end to it.
I believe those types of programs help children learn more than their regular school activities, because the children actually get to see what it feels like to help make their own world a better place. These children actually make a difference. They will feed 4,000 other children!
I hope these young children feel very proud, because they deserve to feel proud.
