We Are All Connected: A special gift from a young heart

A special gift from a young heart

A few days ago we received this special gift from a six year old girl, a student at Vista Grande Elementary School.

When Lauren had her birthday party a few weeks ago she told her friends she didn't want any gifts - instead she wanted money to help fund Dr. Hodes' mission!

This beautiful young lady not only raised a couple hundred dollars for Dr. Hodes' cause, but also shared a precious lesson, the lesson of giving, with the 12 friends invited to her party . Then, Lauren took to the money she raised from the party, $150.35, then opened her piggy bank and added $53 of her own money, and gave it to our group to donate- over $200 raised by a six year old!

This is a big part of what our group hopes to accomplish - to plant the lesson of giving to the less fortunate in children's hearts and minds. Below it's a picture of Lauren with the letter she wrote to Dr. Hodes:

"My name is Lauren. I am six years old and I am in the first grade at Vista Grande Elementary School in Danville, CA. I have saved up $203.35 which I would like to give to you. Please use the money for a little girl. You can buy her food, medisin, a doll, books and some cloths. Or you can buy what ever you think she needs. When I have some more money I will give it to you".

Very, very well done little Lauren! Thank you very much!

What is our mission?

Our mission is to raise awareness among children illustrating how we are all truely connected and how by working together we can make a difference in the world.

We want to carry our message to children in cities, states, and countries throughout the world conveying this message of being connected and through efforts supporting voluntary causes at their schools they can help children in need.

Our current project is to raise awareness and funds to assist Dr. Rick Hodes in providing medical care and clean water to children of East Africa. This project has two primary beneficial objectives:

First is educational: Children at their schools, with the help of their teachers and administrators can work together to help those in need. Each and every child realizes he/she can make a difference!

Second is financial: Our objective to raise money in each school through special fundraisers, as well as permanent recycling of bottles, cans and cell phones.

How can you help?

We would love your participation by motivating your school to embrace our mission and adopting our current fundraising project for Dr.Hodes cause at your school. One successful example is Vista Grande Elementary School in Danville California. See our blog post about their fundraiser: Vista Grande Fundraiser

You can also contribute by donating your used cell phones to any local school participating in this project.

We believe this message is important to be shared with your children. To illustrate the value of their efforts, to show how we are all connected, and how powerful a difference they can make by helping others!
