Generosity — giving with a loving heart
Amara, Neema, and Jasiri find there’s only one small piece of chocolate left. After Mama’s quiz and Papa’s Bible story about the widow’s offering, the children choose to share. Kitabu affirms that generosity brings joy and unity, and the friends begin looking for everyday ways to give time, kindness, and help.
“It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
— Acts 20:35.
What Kids Learn
