Meet Naiderson<\/a>. My sons and I watched this video together.<\/p>\n

I do not want them growing up not knowing the needs that exist around the world. I’m also trying to instill in them biblical principles.<\/p>\n

God teaches us not to forget the poor or the orphans. (James 1:27<\/a>)<\/p>\n

I’m trying to serve in any way I can which is why I am now a Help One Now blogger<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is all voluntary. I do not get paid to blog for any organization. I do this on my own accord as a way of giving back and helping in some small way.<\/p>\n

God has given me the gift of writing and I want to sow it back to Him.<\/p>\n

The Lord seems to be reminding me lately about the necessity and importance of children receiving an education.<\/p>\n

I just finished reading and reviewing a book called Creating Room To Read<\/em> by John Woods which is about the importance of education. Mostly, children living in poverty around the world who do not have access to books or schools.<\/p>\n

Help One Now<\/a> is helping children in Haiti which Unicef reports the education statistics<\/a> are very bleak.<\/p>\n

When we watched the video of Naiderson, we were very sad. After the earthquake in Haiti, it left children like Naiderson without schools.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned by John Wood and Nick Kristof that children receiving an education is one of the ways to break the cycle of poverty.<\/p>\n

In the days ahead, I will be blogging more about the work Help One Now is involved in and how you can get involved or help.<\/p>\n

If you are moved to give, just click on the photo above to donate towards this cause. Any amount will be helpful and appreciated.<\/p>\n
