Getting Kids Involved
Hello everyone! I hope your summer is kicking into full gear. As you probably know by now, one of the things I really enjoy with the kids is getting them involved helping others. I came across several more websites that specifically help kids help other kids. And you do not have to be in any certain location to help. They will be added to the “Your Child’s Soul” page of the website as well.
Here are some highlights of the list (with links provided):
The Peter Pan Children’s Fund – You can sign up for the Peter Pan Birthday Club and help raise money for a local children’s hospital.
Special Olympics – These were just in town and I realized after it was over that even my youngest could help do something. I plan on making this a family volunteer outing next year. Most kids can easily pick up trash, deliver water, or be a cheering section!
Pinwheel Project – An idea right out of the Close Kids Forever book. You can collect and donate art supplies, books, DVDs and videos to children’s hospitals easily with their help.
If none of these are your cup of tea, check out the “Your Child’s Soul” tab for more fun stuff you can do together.
