In April, the AMP lesson titled "Secrets of a Clean Home: Becoming a Master of Order" was brought to life by 78 leaders and teams across 43 countries. This practical and engaging session taught children the value of cleanliness, personal responsibility, and helping at home. Through role-playing, group discussions, and hands-on activities, they learned that small daily actions—like folding clothes, tidying their rooms, or washing dishes—can have a big impact.

In 2005, Bob and Margaret King of Granbury, Texas had a charitable vision – a vision to help youth in their community build character and faith, to learn life skills and improve the course of their lives. They observed many challenges kids were facing, which resulted into drug and alcohol exposure and addictions, anxiety, and depression.

March was a month of meaningful lessons, new beginnings in several countries, and powerful moments that touched the hearts of children and volunteers alike.

Location: Vietnam, Cambodia, Guatemala, and Peru

After a recent violence prevention lesson, a 10-year-old boy shared a powerful story that perfectly captured the heart of the message.

At just 12 years old, Rebecca, a Grade 6 student from Kisii, Kenya, has experienced the kind of emotional hardship no child should endure. Ongoing conflict between her parents forced her to leave their home, placing her in the care of her aunt—a compassionate volunteer doing her best under challenging circumstances.

During a recent Violence Prevention lesson, something remarkable unfolded. As we discussed peaceful ways to handle conflicts, the children listened intently. They learned that instead of resorting to violence, they could talk about their problems, express their feelings, and work together to find a solution.

At the start of this month’s lesson, my team of volunteers and I wanted to see if the children had applied what they learned last month. Before introducing the new topic, we asked, “Who remembers what we learned last time? Did anyone try to use it? ”

Violence is a reality that many children witness or experience, but equipping them with the right tools can make all the difference. During a recent Violence Prevention lesson, a powerful moment unfolded when a child shared a story about witnessing a friend being bullied at school. Instead of staying silent, the child chose to step in by informing a teacher. This simple yet courageous act sparked a discussion about the importance of speaking up and supporting others.
