A bright spot

One of the little boys at ICAN, the low-income afterschool and day camp program I am working at this summer, provided a brighter spot in an otherwise depressing Tuesday. I was asking the children to name different color vegetables. We started with red and then moved onto the other colors. When I asked them to name orange vegetables, a very excited Hispanic six-year old with a cute space between his front teeth, stood up in his chair and proudly yelled, "I know! CaRRRRots!" Via la Mexico.

Wow... 200 kids... after seeing the difficulty of nutritionally educating a class of 20 kindergarteners in D.C. I am impressed! ;o) Looking forward to seeing you in a week or so!!
