  • "Orphan Trains: Sunflower Journeys investigates the "orphan trains" of Kansas' settlement days. Shipped from the east coast where they lived in poverty, the young passengers of these trains arrived on the Kansas frontier uncertain of their destiny. Marilyn Holt, adjunct history professor at the University of Kansas, talks about the experience of these children - not all of whom were orphans. Habitat for Humanity: Learn about a national organization that coordinates volunteer efforts to provide affordable homes for low-income families. Representatives of the Lawrence and Topeka chapters of Habitat for Humanity, Robert Cobb, Rev. John Gingerich and Alida Moore explain how volunteers come together to renovate older homes and build new homes to help their neighbors. Intergenerational Network: Sunflower Journeys explores how the Kansas Intergenerational Network helps bring young and old together. We visit the Kansas Neurological Institute, Fairlawn Nursing Center and Downtown Day Care in Topeka, where intergenerational programs are in effect. Herb Callison and Jean Miller of KIN explain why children and seniors make such a good match."
