SOME HAVE FOOD AND SOME CAN'T (PRAYER)

Some have food bu can not eat
Some can eat but have no food
But we have food and we can eat
Thank dear Lord for provision
Amen

Prayer

I loved the posting by one of Lynn's Kids about prayer.This is what I must say to them.

When you go to sleep late at night
The world is quiet
God listens
Never forget that and pray with your heart

Sing a song a song of dedication
A song that will shout out equal education
For the girls and boys in every land
We must really take a strong stand

So first we beg our Lord to give us what we need
You will learn and your teachers will plant a seed
A seed of love,a seed of hope
Something that will teach each and everyone of you to cope

So enjoy Lynn's Kids Camp and pray while you learn
Praying brings us closer to God and He feels are brains burn
Full of knowledge surrounded by books on the shelf
God protects those who help themselves

Good Luck with your camp.
Hugs,Lynn

A letter to Lynn's Kids

Hello, dear friends,
How are you? We learned about your efforts to get education and we admire you. We heard a lot about your country from our English teacher and we think life is not very easy for you.
We wanted to tell you something about the place where we live.
Russia is the largest country in the world.
We live in Novosibirsk which is in Eastern Siberia. Some people tend to believe it is right in the centre of our large country.
The climate in Siberia is severe in winter which lasts a long time. Snow starts falling and it gets cold in November and it melts in and then green glass appears but it's still cool. Summer can be very hot or cool, as it was this year. Winter is a beautiful season, because the ground is covered in white blanket of snow. Children make snowmen and in parks you can see snow and ice sculptures. There are slides in parks and yards and children go down the slides and have fun though it is very cold.
We celebrate New Year in winter. We put up a New Year tree and decorate it. We have a fireworks display.

Some words about our class. There are 27 students in our class. We have been learning English for 6 years, but we still make mistakes. Our teacher encourages us to learn English better by organising projects and communication with students from other countries.
Our class is like a family. A few days ago we went to a park together where we played volleyball, ran races, competed in a cooking contest, sang songs and so on. We had a lot of fun at the outing. It was our first Tourist Festival outing.
We would like to learn more about your school life, about your free time, your friends, and so on...

On behalf of students of class 8a

World Food Day

World Food Day is on October 17.This is the day to fight global hunger. We must attack hunger
as if it was our enemy.It is a formidable enemy.Do you know that more than 845,000 people are hungry.Not all of them are homeless.Some of them can afford a place to live but no food to put on the table.We have governments unwilling to help .The time is now.Organize your students.There are many projects they can participate in.Here are examples:

1.T -shirts for hunger-Have them design shirts with hunger facts on each shirt.Let them sell them in a shopping area.

2.Clothing Drive-Have students collect old clothing and give it to those in need.

3.Senior Centers-Our seniors brought us here.Let's show them we appreciate it.

4.Prepare food for the poor.Give a meal to someone who is in need.

All of these activities will teach our students to give back to the country they love.

I'm posting the letter my students wrote to the students from Lynn's Kids School.

"Hello, dear students of Lynn's school,
We are students from class 8 b and we just started our school. We had our first lesson where our teacher Tamara Natanovna told us about your school. She told us about the civil war in your country and about poverty. We felt sorry for you.
We liked to hear that you want to learn and make a difference. We wish all of you could go to such a wonderful school like ours. Here we learn different subjects like Mathematics, Russian, Literature, Geography, History, Biology, English, Chemistry, Physics, Social Studies, Computer Technology, P.E., World Culture. There is a library in our school and we can borrow books there. There is a canteen where we have lunch. There is a museum which we are proud of.We have different studios and we can develop our talents in art, drama, dancing and singing, in sports and crafts.We would like to hear from you. Did you start your school? What subjects are you going to study? How many students are there in your class?

Best wishes,
Students of 8b
