Children... 05/04/2009
Wow. Inspiring, motivating, the light at the end of the tunnel. Moving, touching, heart whrenching even. Kids..helping kids, when their parents wouldn't. We knocked door to door, asking for donations. On a few occasions, the parents would begin to say no, when the child, standing next to them at the door, would either get mad, telling their parent to donate, or run and grab change themselves, holding up one finger and saying "one sec., ill be right back" one little girl said, "dad, dont you care about the kids that are poor?" leading to her fathers donation of a couple dollars. One childs mom, clearly sad that she didn't have change on her, was surprised when her son ran to his room and grabbed his only money, a two dollar bill, the only one we recieved the whole time. It seems the kids are the most interested in what we are doing, and we love that. We hope we can inspire them to make a difference in the world and not give in to this fast paced, winner-take-all society. A special thanks to the little boy who shattered his piggy bank and handed me the little change he had with a smile. |
