The kids of Huron Christian School arrived
the morning of Jan. 17 to dark hallways and
classrooms in order to experience what
schools are like in many developping
countries.
Students were visited by Philip Beck, Cana-
dian partnership coordinator with Edu Deo
Ministries, a mission organization which
helps serve children in developing coun-
tries with quality Christian education.
"The students are learning about what the
impact of education can be in developping
nations," explained Beck, adding many chil-
dren around the world do without technol-
ogy, or even electricity, in school.
Getting Canadian students to experience
what it's like to live a day in the shoes of
those in less fortunate countries is just one
way Beck said they can find an appreciation
for what they have.
"Education is an incredibly important
aspect of any country in terms of their devel-
opment, therefore it's critical for the major-
ity of the world to have access to quality edu-
cation. It has a powerful impact in terms of
transforming the lives of students, of school
communities and of nations."
As part of "A Day in Their Shoes," students
worked on making toys out of ordinary
household scrap materials. Creative creations
included everything from dolls and cars to
imaginative games and sports. Each prayer pal
group also researched information on a differ-
ent countries to present to the school at an
afternoon assembly.
