KIDS' Sites on Diabetes

• The Children with Diabetes Site
  Wonderful Kids' Section with stories, photos. Long lists of friends who also have diabetes to e-mail (with parental permission).
• KIDS Learn About Diabetes
  "This web site was designed for an Eagle Scout Project by Brendan Hannemann of Troop 1140, Springfield, Virginia, USA." Nicely designed, with interactive quizzes along the way.
• Joslin Diabetes Center Discussion Board
  You have to check in as a Guest to read the messages. Warm sharing. Reminded me of some of the classroom discussions in Love 1A and in Juvenile Justice. I think we, as peace educators, need to learn better how to reproduce this sharing and caring in all our institutions of learning. Empathy such as we see here seems as natural to us as agression. How wonderful to glimpse it. Oh, I read the messages under "Diabetes sucks!" on July 10, 2000.
