You’ll also take a mid-year break to enjoy learning about cultural and religious traditions surrounding Christmas.

You’ll learn about kids who don’t have access to basic needs like clean water or shelter for the night. You’ll see how many children must work to survive, and find out how you can help to ease the suffering of children around the globe. Along the way you’ll meet people like George Mueller, who involved himself in rescuing thousands of orphaned children, and meet people who are doing the same today.
Activities and learning opportunities this year are focused around easy cultural gatherings to prepare for your family. Prepare meals, entertainment or crafts that will give you further insight into the lands you are studying. Visit fun website links that take you instantly to other sides of the world. As always, the activities are practical, fun & full of learning! It’s all very do-able!
