Have Heart

Yesterday, the class painted hearts for Project Mercy in Ethiopia. Project Mercy is "a U.S.-based not-for-profit relief and development agency that promotes education, health care, and other holistic community development projects to create economically independent communities with high ethical and social values" (http://www.projectmercy.org). Mrs. Janet Hall, the speaker who came last Monday from Project Mercy, helped organize this school-wide event. We painted over 2,000 hearts! These hearts will go to children who are involved in Project Mercy, showing them that they are all created differently and to have heart and hope. Above is a picture of some hearts we painted!
