Thanks for posting these. I heard recently on Democracy Now! that children have raised and donated more money to Katrina victims that all but five corporations. Pretty amazing individuals, these kids are.   [ send green star]  [ accepted]
 
CHILDREN HELPING CHILDREN August 29, 2006 7:42 PM

IT IS JUST AN INSPIRATION FOR US ALL WHEN WE SEE CHILDREN HELPING AND SHARING.

WE HAVE A GROUP OF CHILDREN HERE, I LOOK AFTER THEIR STUDIES, DRAWING, PAINTING ETC. THEY ARE IN ABOUT 50 TO 58 COMING EVERY SATURDAY.

NORMALLY AFTER THE ACTIVITES THEY ARE GIVEN A LIGHT MEAL (A JUICE, BISCUITS (?), OR CAKE ETC. AS MOST OF THE TIMES WE PREPARE MORE THEN THE NEEDED, THEY ALWAYS ASK TO TAKE HOME SOMETHING.

BUT, IN FACT, THEY DO NOT TAKE HOME = THEY GO TO THOSE CHILDREN THAT, FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER DO NOT COME TO THESE ACTIVITIES, AND GIVE THEM WHAT THEY GOT AS "EXTRA".

WHEN RAINS ARE TOO STRONG, WE ALWAYS HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THOSE FAMILIES WHOSE HOUSES ARE IN DANGEROUS AREAS.

THEN, THESE SAME CHILDREN COME AND WE ALL GO COLLECTING DRY FOOD (RICE, BEANS,OIL, OTHER THINGS I DON´T KNOW THE NAMES IN ENGLISH..) AND I HELP THEM PREPARE THE BAGS WITH THESE FOR THEM TO TAKE TO THOSE WHO MOST OF THE TIMES LOST EVERYTHING.

TEACHING THEIR HEARTS TO LOVE THE OTHERS AND SHARING / HELPING HAS BEEN THE MOST GRATIFYING THING : THEY FEEL THE OTHERS NEED AND THEY ARE ALWLAYS LOOKING FOR A WAY TO HELP THE OTHER CHILDREN AROUND.

Volunteer for and with Children November 08, 2006 8:26 PM

I love volunteering with the Boys and Girls Club. They need tutors especially. Please consider putting in two hours a week with them! I think working in a no-kill animal shelter is wonderful for kids, because it gives them a sense of responsibility and also helps them understand life and animals better. If there is an animal sanctuary in your area, all the better! Most shelters require kids to be 14 years old before they begin volunteer work at the shelter, but some will accept younger volunteers if a parent is with them. Most duties include dog-walking and cat socializing (playing and grooming), and changing water bowls, etc. They might ask you/your kid to wash some dishes or do some laundry, but most of the time, it's direct contact with the animals. Another great organization to volunteer with is Rebuilding Together, formerly Christmas in April. It's perfect for teaching your child a skill (usually to paint), and having a wonderful morning and afternoon together. Perfect for bonding time! Or bring the whole soccer team or scout group and make it a community service day! Instead of going to a zoo, take a trip to The Elephant Sanctuary or whatever sanctuary is in your area. It's better than a petting zoo. They'll put you to work, and you'll have a blast! Zoos don't generally let you get up close and personal with the animals. Sanctuaries ALWAYS need help, and kids love it.  [ send green star]  [ accepted]
 
Children to Children of Wars November 19, 2007 3:37 PM

I recently started a non-profit organization after seeing, firsthand, the damages of war on a child in the hospital.

Sign the Children to Children of Wars Foundation's petition here: http://ccowfoundation.com/petition.html

Help us stop the unnecessary violence children face in war zones because they deserve a childhood without the physical and psychological damages of war.

Thanks!
