Bears for Haiti has become a huge success: it grew to include two other schools. I cannot believe the outpouring of love from the kids at Noah’s school. The kids got so excited everyday seeing the mound of bears growing, and by the end they brought in 2,202 bears! The total amount of bears collected between all three schools is over 4,000!
I know that there are plenty of other needs like food, clothing, and shelter. But I just keep thinking about the child who has lost everything, some their whole families. How great would it be to bring them a little hope. To give them something to call their very own. Think about how excited little kids get when they get a surprise or a new toy. We need to take care of their hearts, too. I know their hearts will grow when they find that other kids in another country are thinking of them.
It just makes me so excited to see that these kids here in Georgia have a heart for children that they will never meet and are able to think outside of their own circumstances. How wonderful to get kids thinking about these things early in their lives and thinking globally!
Our goal for Bears for Haiti, and for us as a family, is to help Noah see his good intentions to the end. How wonderful would it be for him to be there to help distribute these bears, to meet some of these kids and to see how it affects them. From one kid to another!
We initially were working with one organization that was going to help us get the bears to Haiti but now it has gotten too big. We have to find another way to get these little gifts down there to the children.
We are putting it out there. God has completely done something here and I know he will make a way.
Great job to all of the kids at Chattahoochee Elementary, Berkley Lake Elementary, and Chesney Elementary!!!
