32、den, “They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.”Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed.

39、 special gift to the child abroad. The other is to help open the eyes of the student who is painting.” Staring into the eyes of another person, Schumaker believes, it creates a real connection. This connection raises awareness in U.S. schools about the needs of the worlds poor children. “Its about p

40、lanting a seed,” he said. Schumaker is also working on Books of Hope, a project in which students of all ages put together homemade books for children in Uganda and India.
