Indiana—Sabbath afternoon, May 3, found eager Primary Class members assembled at Maple Park Nursing Home in Westfield. Walking from room to room, the children gave the residents smiles, hugs and cheery flower arrangements. Each bouquet came in a paper cone the class decorated in Sabbath school with reminders of God's love written on them.

After distributing the flowers, the children sang Sabbath school songs for the residents who gathered in the activity area. One of the residents told a nurse, "This is the best entertainment we've had all year!"

The first Sabbath of April found the Primary Class counting used eye glasses. Gathered in a semi-circle around their teacher, Mary Ann Smith, one by one the children placed the glasses in a basket. The last count ended at 64! Twenty pairs of glasses were donated by a woman who read about the project in the Clay City (Ind.) newspaper. Julie Kelly's grandma, Phyllis Wrate, promoted the project at the Lewis (Ind.) Church, and a member put it in the church's weekly news column.

The glasses will be donated to Give the Gift of Sight, an organization which repairs, classifies, distributes glasses and provides vision care to those in need around the world. According to the organization's website, since the program's inception in 1988, Give the Gift of Sight has helped more than 6 million individuals "see their world more clearly" (see www.givethegiftofsight.org).

Each year, Primary Class leaders look for ways to teach the children how to be a blessing to others. Last year, the students raised money to purchase items from the Adventist Development and Relief Agency's The Original Really Useful Gift Catalog (see www.adra.org).
