Children Helping Children



At the November Kids Care Club, part of our First Sunday’s formation offerings, we welcomed a very special guest, Suzanne Hicks. Suzanne is the Executive Director of Hope for Humanity, an organization that was founded by a CCE member and seeks to equip and give hope to boys and girls in South Sudan, believing that education is the best way to help people grow and become self-sustaining.

The young participants listened to the parable of the Good Samaritan and learned about the boys and girls studying at Hope and Resurrection School(HRSS) in South Sudan. Putting faith into action, the Kids Care Club created ornaments to be displayed on the annual Hope for Humanity Giving Tree.

You are invited to take an ornament during Advent and make a donation to benefit our
brothers and sisters in South Sudan. This year, the ornaments beautifully represent the school. You can choose between a bookmark, the funds from which will help provide education to a nation’s next generation of leaders; or you can purchase an ornament filled with rice and beans. Each day, the students at HRSS are given a lunch of rice and beans. Local food insecurity means that this is frequently their only daily meal. The lunch is critical in nourishing the growing minds and bodies of the students and allowing them to fully participate in class.

The Kids Care Club made a connection with students half a world away, children all precious in God’s sight. We invite you to connect, too -- by supporting the Giving Tree this year. With your support, Hope for Humanity, Inc. will educate and feed more than 250 students. The ornament will bring life to your home as your gift helps make change possible for HRSS students, their community, and the world we share.

You can purchase your ornament from the milling area now through December 18.
