No Need to Wait.
“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” — Anne Frank
It’s not only adults that can make a difference in the world around them. Kids can also play a vital part, too.
Some kids have the initiative (and support) to create their own charitable groups, such as Zach Hunter, featured as one of CNN’s Heros, who is working to end modern day slavery. Oprah also had a program on kids making a difference.
Paying attention to kids’ needs is important to their growing up to help others, as demonstrated by the Sprint-sponsored ConnectWithKids.com program (which has a pretty good blog, too.)
Another program is GlobalNomads.org which teaches kids to understand other cultures and to get a general global understanding of issues affecting the world around them.
All hands on deck. Age need not be a factor.
“It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little – do what you can” — Sydney Smith (1771-1845), writer, clergyman
