9 year old Gerald Hamilton started a new school and invited all 30 of his classmates to his birthday party, but no one attended. Gerald was born with a condition that requires operations on his skull and he has trouble reading. Gerald's nan says children didn't turn up to his party because Gerald is "different".
Gerald's Nan posted on Facebook how upset she was and within days thousands of presents and cards arrived from all over the world for Gerald, The Chicago Eagles asked Gerald to meet them after a game.
Gerald took some of the toys he got to a special needs class at his school and also gave some to the hospital where he has operations.
What's happening in the picture?
Explain the photo
- Why do you think Gerald was left out?
- Would that happen in our school? How do you know?
- What do the thousands of cards and presents show us about people around the world today?
- Some schools don't have the message, "No Outsiders" and some children don't understand what it means. If people don't know about the No Outsiders message, what do we have to do?
- If you could get a message to Gerald, what would you say?
- If you could get a message to Gerald's school, what would you say?
