WE NEED "STRANGERS"

I spoke to a man yesterday who told me a scary story about his little son. They live close by to the forest and his little son went for a walk looking for his father in the forest late in the evening the day before yesterday. When the parents realized that he was gone they searched for him for over an hour. Every possible and horrible thought came to mind - kidnapping, accident, their small son crying and lost wandering through the dark forest. Just as they decided to call the police, the phone rang. It was the police department calling to say that they had their son. A man had found him walking in the near-darkness in the forest all alone, put him on his bicycle and drove him to the next telephone booth to call the police. You can imagine how happy they were to have him again and how thankful they were that this stranger had taken the responsibility upon himself to pick up this little boy and take him to the police. Now, many people would have just shook their head and drove away thinking that parents should be more careful - but too afraid to take the responsibility to take the child with them. It made the man and his wife think of all that they have to be thankful for and made him think of our child sponsorship project and how much a "stranger" can help children - and their families... He has decided to sponsor the education of 10 more children at the Virginia M. Buena Memorial Center in Nakuru, Kenya! That makes him the sponsor of 26 children - a "stranger" changing their lives.
