Richard listened and followed along as I read about heroes around the world who work to make the world a better place; these heroes are known as humanitarian heroes. He learned about Clara Barton and how she earned the nickname "angel of the battlefield." We learned how she convinced people in the government to sign the Geneva Conventions, an agreement on how to treat sick and wounded soldiers, and we learned about the organization she started, the Red Cross. Before he left for his eye therapy appointment, Richard was encouraged to think about how the actions of the heroes we discussed this week made a difference.
