Looking back to June 2020, when the free kids' meeting packets made their debut globally online on PEGlala.com, it was but a handful of 100+ children who had access directly from Gigi Navarro—the sister who made these packets to help out young children in her hall since 2016. Fast forward four and a half years to the end of 2024, are you curious to see the impact these packets are making worldwide?
Interesting Highlights:
- From a small team of two, consisting of PEGlala.com founder Peggy Fung and free kids' meeting packets content creator Gigi Navarro, to now a total of 54 volunteers, both past and present, who have devoted their time, talent, and effort into making these available in an upward of 17 languages.
- During the first 6 months of initial posting, orders for the packets reached nearly 2,000—20 times the initial exposure.
- By the following year, in 2021, downloads more than quadrupled in demand, reaching over 9,000.
- As of 2024, total downloads have reached nearly 15,000, with availability in 17 languages!
- Foreign languages such as Spanish, Chinese, Dutch, Portuguese, French, and Papiamentu Curacao are gaining popularity in demand.
- News is spread via word-of-mouth, with no paid marketing or advertisement. It is truly amazing to see how much these packets are being valued by our friends worldwide!

Many heartfelt words of appreciation have poured in to express how the volunteer work is helping our fellow brothers and sisters and young ones worldwide. There are just too many to list, but here are some highlights:
- I really wanted to thank everyone on the team working hard for the sake of the kingdom. I can only imagine how much time and effort you put in and though I might not say so as often as I should, please receive my warm-hearted gratitude. I don't have kids of my own, but loads do in the congregation, coming from a very low income population, it's difficult to get these kids focused. But these activities really work. And it's a miracle they are offered for free thousands of miles away. You can't imagine how grateful I am to have discovered them and now can share the joy of helping some little ones sit still so the parents can benefit from the meeting and helping them little ones **** boredom through beneficial activities. May Jehovah bless all you do, for the sake of his name, and his people. Love, Brenda - Uganda
- I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful worksheets you provide. I give them to a ‘jw sen’ group I'm a part of and the mums who had struggled so much with trying to teach children who have special needs about Jehovah have found them absolutely invaluable. Many children who struggle with dyslexia, adhd and asd and the anxiety that comes alongside have found their children much more engaged and a few even answering up for the first time. So heartfelt thanks to you, may Jehovah keep blessing your work. - Kelly, USA
- You don’t know how grateful we are to find this lovely meeting packet, is going to help my son a lot to concentrate. Thank you for helping our little one have a friendship with Jehovah. 🤗 - Brondy M - NY, USA
- My family includes 3 children ages 5, 8, and 13. I enjoy how easy it is to find useful things for our meetings and ministry. The price is incredible! This has been a favorite resource for our family worship projects and meeting preparation for all of us. This gives us a glimpse into the wonderful education program we will all participate in within Jehovah's new world soon to come. We pray abundant blessings for the brothers and sisters who created and manage and update this website.- Valtisha P, USA
- I just want to tell you how much we appreciate ALL this work you put into for our children to be a part of the congregation meetings.

Thank you, thank you SO VERY MUCH!❤️ May Jehovah bless you❤ - Lupe B. - OR, USA

- I really love the meeting workbooks for my children. Before learning of your site, my children would sit through the meeting bored and wanting it to be over. Now they pay attention, they are making their tally marks, and they're even commenting. They look forward to them every week! - Dorian G, USA
- Hi there, I’m just writing to thank you so so much for the meeting worksheets that you produce for the children. I receive them through a sister called Kelly who I know through a group for children with additional support needs. For the last 2 weekday meetings I have been printing out the sheets for my daughter who has ADHD. And I can’t tell you how much of a game changer this is! Our whole meeting is so so much better now. She even answered twice last night based on the sheets. So thank you thank you you truly are a blessing from Jehovah. - Heather G., USA
- My 6 year old looks forward to doing these every meeting. Thank you so much for the hard work in a quality product that is accessible to all! Extremely appreciate how helpful this is to our family to keep my active son focused during the meetings! I wish I had found this sooner!!! - Shelia T, USA
- Just what we needed! Our little girl is four (first and only child) and we found we are at a loose end with knowing how to start teaching. Sounds silly cos we have so much available on JW.org ... but we just didn't know where to start. So your worksheets have given us a base to work with and then add in the publication images and Bible Story book. We truly are delighted to see our little girl engage in the meeting now and want to answer since using your sheets. She and we love it ! So a Ma.hu.sive thank you ! Jehovah blessing and much love - Cherie S, Ireland
- My mom recently told me about your site. This Thursday was the first time we used your midweek meeting worksheets, and they were a GAME CHANGER! I have a 7-year-old son with ADHD and a 23-year-old daughter with Autism, and this was the first week in a long time where I actually got something out of the meeting. Thank you so much for your hard work; it is very appreciated. They are both already looking forward to getting their Sunday worksheets. - McKell M, USA
- I can’t thank you all enough for all the hard work you do to get these packets prepared for young ones. My son uses them at every meeting and he just had his first CA packet. I couldn’t believe how calm and focused he was during the assembly. Much Christian love from St. Joseph MO. - Jennifer A
- Very well arranged thank you very much brothers and sisters for making this for our little ones. It kept them busy and attentive during this 3 days . Please continue to provide us your great work with the help of Jehovah god and his son Jesus. Our love to this great team of work, from Nishanthan's family - Canada
- I just had to write you and tell you again THANK YOU!!! My nephews absolutely loved their workbooks. My Sisters were very happy because the notebooks kept my nephews involved in the convention program and they even took notes! They were very excited about convention and I just wanted to thank you for using the talent Jehovah gave you to make something so great for the kids! May Jehovah continue to bless all your efforts! - Sarah G, USA
