Fly, Eagle, Fly!
|
A farmer finds an eaglet and takes it home to his children and raises it among the chickens. A visiting friend sets out to prove to the farmer that the grown eagle has not forgotten its identity, but can fly as all eagles do. To his dismay, all attempts to get the eagle to fly are in vain, until one morning at dawn…
The story is simple, but the meaning profound. It’s message is one to be pondered by young and old alike, but especially by children, like so many in Africa, who live in less than ideal circumstances…We are all created with potential to soar like eagles…and not just live our lives, scratching in the dirt, like chickens.

NOBUHLE – A LITTLE GIRL IN NEED
December 2007: While we were creating the lapbooking activities to go along with the lessons to Fly, Eagle, Fly! for our own children, the plight of a little 5 year old Zulu girl with HIV and other medical complications was brought to our attention by a fellow homeschooling friend.
Nobuhle, the little girl, has never seen a specialist to ascertain the problem with her liver and receive the treatment and medication she desperately needs. Our friend, Mandy, asked for pledges so that she could begin the process of getting the care that Nobuhle needs in order to live out her last days in comfort, without pain.
There was only a small response, so we have decided to offer homeschoolers and educators in South Africa and around the world, this interactive South African unit study in return for a donation of about R50 or USD $7.00 for Nobuhle.
The proceeds of this ebook will go to help Nobuhle and other oprhans whom we support on a monthly basis.
Update August 2008: The funds received have been used to buy Nobuhle the health supplements and Anti-retroviral medication she needs, as well as blankets and other necessities. Her health and comfort has improved remarkably and extra funds are used for other children in the same orphanage.
It is interesting to note that this story/parable, Fly, Eagle, Fly! was written by the author for his little daughter of 7, who was dying at the time.
It’s a story with a purpose!
Please pass on this link to friends and colleagues who could enjoy the unit study and help our cause too!
