Help Peruvian Children: Heart-to-Heart � Children in the USA are helping children in Northern Peru stay in school. Find out how, and join in the 2007 Heart-to-Heart Project. An excellent activity for your religious education class or church group, as well as individual children. Click web site link to discover Heart-to-Heart. Children from across the United States are invited to join the Heart-to-Heart project for the poor children of northern Peru, said Penny Wiegert, editor of The Junior Observer newspaper in Rockford, Illinois. It's simple. Just click here and print the heart design. Next, have your child, grandchild or religious education students decorate and color the hearts. A drawing, poem, prayer, short message or other appropriate item may be added. Then send in the decorated hearts, along with a $2 donation to help buy the school supplies that make it possible for Peruvian children to attend school. (In Peru, if a child does not have the required type of notebook, etc., he or she is not allowed to attend school. Many poor families cannot afford to buy the needed supplies, and their children are deprived of an education.) Religious Education classes and youth organizations are encouraged to make Heart-to-Heart a group project. The Rockford Diocesan Council of Catholic Women (D.C.C.W.) will send the hearts and donations to Augustinian Bishop Daniel Turley of the Diocese of Chulucanas, Peru. Bishop Turley and the Augustinian missionaries will distribute the hearts and school supplies as a gift to the children of Peru from the children of the United States. Decorated hearts and donations (checks payable to "D.C.C.W.") may be sent to: Heart-to-Heart Project The Junior Observer P. O. Box 7044 Rockford, IL 61125-7044 All items should be received by April 6, 2007 (Good Friday).
