Giving and Generosity is for Kids
Interested in involving your congregation’s children and youth in transformative generosity projects? Consider checking out the Annual Program Fund Quarterly (PDF), which regularly features such projects and resources for youth and adults alike.
In this issue, the Quarterly describes the Sienna Project, which serves to construct schools in Mayan villages in the highlands of Guatemala, and partner with Unitarian Universalist (UU) RE programs to teach valuable lessons about human rights.
