Sometimes its worth remembering just how lucky we are... I was talking to Liam's PIC (preschool intervention class) teacher the other day about her classroom and about the program in general and she mentioned that her fondest wish would be to take her 9 students on a field trip by themselves to the Childrens Museum, she had even managed to secure a scholarship from the museum so that the students could go free of charge... but she had to find nearly $90.00 for the bus - and at $10.00 a child, it was going to be too much money for many of her kids...
Liam is the only child out of a class of nine who has ever visited the Children's Museum... we've been members since before he was born and he knows every inch of the place... and was there yesterday for 3 hours solid without stopping, asking for a drink or whining about anything - he was so entranced... and I know that every child should experience that...
So I have paid Liam's $10, and $10 for another child and have started to ask among my friends for 'sponsors' for each of the other 7 children in the program...and I sent an email out to about 70 friends and colleagues and have already had a response within 10 minutes that a third child has been sponsored...
We are blessed as a family and I am lucky at this time to share that blessing with the other students in Liam's class... it's times like these that remind us just how lucky we are...
Thanks for reading
