Every year before Thanksgiving we try to do a little poverty awareness with our kids. Basically, we make the kids eat things that people in third world countries eat for a few days. This year we had corn mush, rice and beans, simple vegetable soup, and so on. The kids are relieved they still get to eat school lunch! I think it is a worthwhile activity that really helps them remember how lucky they are. This year we also played Mancala (an African rock game that Matthew got for his birthday) to see what kids do without all those electronics.
