Compassion International

Tyler had another field trip on Friday to Compassion International. Justin stayed home with Carter so that Tyler and I could still attend. It was a lot of fun and I think Tyler got a lot out of it. First they showed a video of Haiti, before the earthquake. It showed how kids lived in Haiti compared to how we live here. We then got to see some toys that kids around the world made out of trash, because they couldn't afford to buy toys. Then the kids got to see a replica of a house that would be in some of the poorer countries. It was smaller than the boys room and seven people shared. They chose 7 kids to get in and Tyler was one of them. At the end of the tour each child got a flag of one of the countries Compassion helps. Tyler got India's flag. He was very excited to show it off to daddy and Carter when we got home. He still talks about some of the things we saw.
