God's Photo Album - How We Looked for God and Found Our School

I am certainly no Bible-thumper as anyone who knows me can tell you, but the idea of giving cameras, notebooks and pencils to 168 children and asking them to find God - each in their own way - and in each other - truly intrigued me.







The results are astounding and inspirational. Their goal? To save the struggling Ewa Beach Elementary School on Oahau, Hawaii. They did - and then some. They produced a book of their startling images and suprising observations - proof that no dream is too big and no goal too ambitious. After four years, the book is on the shelves - and the children have learned that God truly is everywhere. To find out more about "God's Photo Album," click here.

Some of the priceless observations:

"I see God by the peacock. He was feeding it lots of food and asking it, "Are you happy?" - Victoria Souza, age 8.

"I see God in the fish. Because fish are God's gift to us children." Sheri-Ann Carganilla. age 8.


"Who can adequately describe God's work? The children." Linda Sullivan, mother, age 40.
