The 6th grade boys have been actively educating our K-8 community about kiva.org. Visiting classrooms, creating developmentally appropriate presentations and asking and answering tough questions truly allows me to see the knowledge and skills they have attained through this project thus far and the empathy they are feeling for others across the world.
The boys have presented to many grade levels and grandparents/special friends over the course of the last few weeks. They have gotten good at feeding their peers questions in order to round out the presentations, speak firmly about their thoughts and answer tough questions about the importance of micro finance, the issues with global poverty, what's been their favorite part about working with Kiva and my fave from a 2nd grader...
“So would you consider yourselves change makers?”
In addition to a clear introduction and a Q and A session many of the groups presented the boys with a multimedia component. Take a moment to enjoy. More on they way!
