The tremendous destruction that resulted from hurricane Katrina and Rita are prime examples of how natural disasters do not discriminate; they are merely directed by the forces of nature. The outpouring of support that is being given to the victims of the hurricanes demonstrates the importance of treating others with compassion and understanding not only during a crisis, but each and everyday.



Discuss with your troop/group what it means to be a compassionate person? Develop a puppet show or skit to demonstrate compassionate behavior. Make a video tape of your show and send it to Zink!
