The children of the UUCLC have been living this lesson as they gather items and raise money for the Adventist Health Medical Mission to Chad, Africa.

As part of the efforts of Dr. Paula Dhanda's office, the children are collecting clothing and toothbrushes and raising funds for the children of Chad.

So far, they have raised $120 from the sale of painted rocks and live plants. On April 5, the children will be selling decorated, blown Easter eggs after the Sunday service at the Kelseyville Senior Center.
