both my teens came home starving yesterday...
with 50 other students from the high school's leadership program,
they participated in a 28 hour famine.
in support of families in southern africa who are affected by hiv/aids,
they collected pledges from generous neighbours,
packed their pajamas and sleeping bags
and spent the night at the high school without food.
also as a group, they spent the evening playing games
and making decorative angels
which were then exchanged for donations.
the following morning,
they went door to door (in the pouring rain)
asking for can goods donations
for the mustard seed food bank.
they had a very busy twenty eight hours.
needless to say, they were hungry, tired, and grumpy
by the time i picked them up.
i wonder if they know how proud of them i am !!
i only told them a gazillion times.
