What makes you special?

Today we went to a school in a nearby village called Bakka. We taught a class of 4th graders about the never ending love of Jesus Christ. We asked the students to then write what makes them special. 

When we started the activity we asked the girls if they thought they were beautiful and sadly only a few said yes. By the end of the class though, they were jumping for joy and were able to tell us more and more things they loved about themselves! It breaks my heart to know that some of these children may have never been told how special and uniquely made they are. And all it takes is one persons encouragement to make them courageous!
