If there is one thing that truly touches our hearts, it is a child or children working hard to make a difference in the world.  We are so very thankful to the many children that have shared supplies, letters, photos, raised money, even shared videos for school projects.  We are also so thankful to the teachers and adults that didn't discourage these kids as being "too small" or not having enough to make an impact.

  
"No act of kindness, no matter how small, was wasted." - Aesop

Everything we receive, whether a photo or letter, a single dollar even one pencil makes a difference in another child's life and again we say thank you to our many young heroes from around the world that are making a difference each and every day!
