I really enjoyed watching them in the crowd. A few months after,I saw that we we raised over $1000 dollars from it and I felt really good about that. Seeing how much a kid my age can do is amazing. I really think they did a good job in the talent show. I would like too be part of One. I read the news every day with my mom too see what is going on in the war and in poverty. My dad works at a company called Compassion International which is a child sponsorship program. My parents are in Australia right now and my dad went for a business trip and my moms going for the heck of it. I cant go because I don't have a passport. And thats all I have too say for now!

How can they know of life’s possibilities? Expand their horizon’s? The distraction is too strong Their stomachs, Empty But these people can be helped If we all join together We can save some Not all But to do this We must become ONE Simultaneous pains

It pains me
In the heart
And in the mind
To think of the less fortunate

Those children
In poverty
No food to eat
No education
Without education
How can these children dream?

How can they know
of life’s possibilities?
Expand their horizon’s?
The distraction is too strong
Their stomachs,
Empty

But these people can be helped
If we all join together
We can save some
Not all
But to do this
We must become
ONE

It really gave me a smile. As a former early education teacher, I know just how inspiring children can be when they make up their minds to help others. When given the idea that they can make a difference for good, children will step up and show us the way how to care for those less fortunate in the world. I would like to say to all those students who took part in this program: "Well Done!" May your concern for the world's poorest people continue to grow in the years to come. And thank you to the adults who encouraged these young people. The most important thing that we can give our children just may be an open and caring heart. GREAT POST, ONE!! Let's see more posts like this from the grassroots here in the ONE Blog.~ Take very good care of each other, everyONE. Blessings - not just for those who kneel. ALWAYS ONE in the Spirit, debbie :) Thanks so much for posting this, Josh. It really gave me a smile.
