Logos Students Learn about Compassion

Logos Students Learn about Compassion
Submitted by Pam Duarte, Headmaster -- Logos Christian Academy middle school students traveled to Carson City last Friday, September 6th, to experience an event called "Compassion Journey".   This event, sponsored by Compassion International connects visitors to some of the realities faced by children growing up in extreme poverty.  Students had an opportunity to step into a new culture, see life from a different perspective and participate in thought-provoking conversations during an audio-guided journey through a series of interactive exhibits. At the exhibit, the students learned about life in Kenya, which coincidentally, Logos had conducted a Flip Flops for Kenya Drive just weeks prior where they had sent over 100 flip flops to the Shadow of His Wings Academy in Kenya for orphans who don't have shoes. The students who wrote the compositions include Mason Storm, 7th grader, and Camryn Hook, 8th grader.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
