Last night at youth group, the kids wrote up their powerpoint presentation on Episcopal Relief and Development's Inspiration Fund for the Millennium Development Goals and the Nets for Life program. We had gone to the public library back in February so they had lots of information about malaria, how it is spread and how it can be prevented. They had at hand the ERD Gifts for Life catalogue that also tells about buying insecticide-treated bednets.
So for 45 minutes the two boys and I worked on their presentation. There aren't any photos in it yet, but the hard part, the text is all set.
Our youth group this year has basically consisted of three adults and two kids but, hey, these two are committed and they really enjoy coming. One has repeatedly chosen youth group over social events and he doesn't even come on Sundays because his family is loosely connected with one of the other churches in town.
The two plus the adults are going to go on the road this spring to Episcopal churches in the area to talk about Nets for Life and to raise money for the Inspiration Fund. I pray that their offer will be well received and their presentation even more so.
