Review for Kids Around the World, Rockford, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have served on several projects with Kids Around the World from building playgrounds both in the United States and in countries around the world to packing meals to help stem the tide of hunger in small bodies. I wondered, why play? After seeing, first-hand, the power that play has, I have no question as to its importance. Yes, safe places to play are important, but they also develop physical, social and cognitive skills and become gathering places that strengthen the community and make it easier for churches and schools to reach out to the community. KIDS staff and mission trip leaders are caring and compassionate men and women who make the trips special for both the volunteers and those being served. If you have not participated in a KIDS project...what are you waiting for? It will change your life both personally and spiritually.
