Just wanted to add that I spoke with Chris Higgins of the Unitarian Universalist church last Sunday at the bowling alley. He said that they are reconsidering the idea of having the middle schoolers mentor the younger students, and are considering setting up a separate room for them with projects/activities geared toward their age group.
I suggested that, maybe in addition to learning about the difficulties faced by persons in other countries, the middle schoolers could design and implement a humanitarian project of their choice--raising money for a well in Africa--running a book drive for the Sojourners Shelter library, etc... I think an activity like that would make them feel like they really can make a difference.
Does anyone else who has middle schoolers have any suggestions that they would like the committee to consider when we next meet?
