Whether or not activities in Kenya will recommence still remains undecided at this time. Last weekend at Pangaea activity in Kyoto and Mie, we spoke to the children about the tragic events occurring in Kenya. Even if we do send them messages, we can't be sure of when we will next receive responses. In any case, though, we pray for their safety.

The Japanese children sent pictogram messages of support to the children in Kenya. In a group of three young troublemakers discussing what kinds of messages to send, one child began to write, "Don't Die" when a boy nearby remarked that, if he wrote out the word 'die,' it would probably make the reader sad. Two others nodded at this and drew out another message saying, "Don't cry. Cheer up soon." The boys tried in earnest to think of how the receivers would feel about the messages.
