Thank you for these resources! My husband and I have been to Haiti several times and we will never be the same. It is very challenging to give others just a glimpse of what it is like. I was very interested in the cereal demonstration that you mentioned and unable to locate it on the Heifer link. Can you assist me?

Thank you! I participated in an OxFam banquet when I was only 10 and it makes such an impact on people’s thinking- it really changes you… I remember it clearly years later!

I think that kids in upper elementary can start getting deeper into the subject, but my little kids (kinder and 1st) already know that some people in the world and even in our local community do not have enough to eat. We volunteered to make lunches this summer for kids in our local community who normally get free lunch at school but are at a loss during the summer months. My son is from Ethiopia, and I do not want him to have the stereotype that only kids in vague and faraway “Africa” might live in poverty- I think it is important to realize that even people in our local area sometimes don’t have enough to eat. We talk about it in simple terms, and gradually go deeper as they grow up. I also make a point that it is not because people are lazy, the causes can be many: maybe there was a drought and their crops didn’t grow this year; maybe the prices went up and the amount of money they make can’t pay for everything they need. It is a difficult concept for kids because they are so innocent and compassionate and want to help everyone (“can we just give them all of our food mommy?”) but I think if you start small, you plant the seeds for them to learn more and more as they grow up. I like that they can feel that they can make a difference, even if they are little and only one person.

My oldest is 6….we talk about social issues from time to time but I hate to start her worrying too young….
