These books will expose my students to the reality of poverty and the opportunity we have to do what we can to help others. Specifically, the novel contains the story of a teenage girl in the United States who becomes pen pals with a boy in Zimbabwe. The boy's life is eye opening to the demographic I'm teaching, and the lengths the girl and her family go to to help him are inspiring and motivating. The goal of this unit is for students to understand the complexities of poverty as well as to design and carry out a plan to help someone socially, mentally, emotionally, academically, or physically.
