The World Love Organization Club Writes Letters to Kids in Swaziland
Last week, the World Love Organization Club met on Thursday in Dave Rinehart’s room, 331, to write letters to kids in Swaziland. They had a selection to write to Sinethemba, a 9-year old girl, or Lungelo, a 13-year old boy. Sinethemba is a shy girl who loves to play basketball and wishes to become a nurse when she grows up. Her favorite school subject is English. Lungelo enjoys playing soccer, hoping to be ...an international player, and also would like to be lawyer when he grows up. His favorite school subject is also English.
Here are the some of the responses for why members chose their kid:
“I chose [Sinethemba] because I could relate to her more, since I’m also a girl.” –Secretary Brenna Roberts
“I felt I could connect with [Lungelo], since we both love English literature.” –Treasurer Katie Gilliam.
“I can relate more to girls because I have three sisters and no brothers.” - Vice President Emma Place, who chose Sinethemba.
“I chose [Lungelo] because he likes the same subjects as I do and he seems interesting to get to know.”- Member Amanda Saari
“I chose [Sinethemba] since she wanted to be a nurse when she grows up, which I can relate to since my dad is also a doctor.” – Member Amanda Milliken
Though the club has a mere nine members, Lungelo and Sinethemba will get lots of love sealed in envelopes. In a few weeks, the members will receive responses from their kids. This is a pen pal relationship starting to blossom.
