Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Exploring India can be added to any VBS curriculum! We provide you with FREE instructions to introduce the project. You purchase one kit per child at $1/each.Most churches collect a daily offering during VBS and find that our Lunchbox Love and Medical Care kits are a great way to make the offering collected more real and personal.
However, if you would like to customize the materials from our 4-week Exploring India curriculum, we would be happy to meet with you via zoom and help you use our materials for your VBS week. The curriculum includes 4 weeks of material and takes 1-1.5 hours to complete each lesson. Each week includes a Bible story, study of a character trait, video, game, craft, and journaling sheet. Students participate in Lunchbox Love and collect money to buy healthy lunches for students at the Good Samaritan School. The 4 week curriculum is $54 and each participant will need one Lunchbox Love Kit which are $1/each.
We have set the goal at $5 or more for each student. While this is affordable for most families, remember $5 is just a goal. Since students turn in funds in the collection pouch, this eliminates any pressure to collect the full amount and allows those who want to give more to do so.
Lunchbox Love is introduced the first week with the video Sadie Shares Lunchbox Love. Their craft that week involves decorating and putting together a lunchbox to take home. Inside the lunchbox is a mini book, parent postcard with instructions and a Cheerful Giver Pouch for coin and dollar collection. The final week, students bring in their Cheerful Giver Pouches with the money they collected to help buy healthy lunches for our students. Students are given a small thank you sack with a 3- color ink pen and information regarding sponsorship and membership in Sadie and Sunny’s Club. Once the collection is turned in to Sadie Shares, we will send a celebration video to share with students and families with the total amount collected!
