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

Rating: 5 stars  

We have had the privilege of seeing the faces of children light up with joy when running to play on a playground that we help construct in the Dominican Republic. They watched each day through the fence awaiting that exciting day when the gate would be opened to a colorful playground that would provide years of fun and enjoyment for countless number of children. I will never forget when a small handicapped child who could not walk or play outside of his wheelchair experienced a ride down the slide. Words cannot begin to capture his expression of glee. KIDS brings a playground of color and fun into the lives of children of poverty but, more importantly, presents the story of Christ's love and forgiveness for their hearts and life eternal through Bible stories and flannelgraphs. It was indeed an honor to be a tiny part of this ministry of God's love.
