Romanian Children Pray for Nepal

To celebrate International Children’s Day on June 1, a special activity was added to the Kids’ Club program at Veritas – an NCM partner organization in Sighisoara, Romania. The children were shown pictures from Nepal – both before and after the earthquake in April. They learned about how the lives of people in Nepal – including children like themselves – have been affected by the earthquake.

Before the presentation, none of the children had heard about the earthquake, but afterwards, they were all touched by what they had seen and heard. The children then wrote prayers on pieces of paper and tied them to balloons that they released into the air as a way of symbolically showing how their prayers for the children in Nepal are being lifted to God.
