I am helping children in third world countries by providing needed items.
Here's how we got the idea:
Weve heard about the organization though our friends and decided to join them.
These are the steps we took:
My mom and I purchased sanitary items, school supplies, and toys for children in need. We packed the items and prepared five shoe boxes which we then brought to the organization and then for two hours we helped pack another 40 shoe boxes.

That I am very fortunate to have all that I have and that it feels good to help others and not just worry about myself!
