Gifts That Give Back #9

I can't say enough about Me to We. Every time I turn around they are doing something new, changing someone else's life, reaching out to children, families, communities in need. And to think, it all started with 12 yr old Craig Keilburger. Me to We is a social enterprise with a mission. They transform consumers into world changers one transition at a time. Half of Me to We's profits are donated to their charitable partner, Free the Children. Recently, I discovered their Buy a Book, Give a Book program. See the video below!

I highly recommend you read Me to We and if you are a parent, teacher, or work with children in any capacity I recommend The World Needs Your Kid. Such great books! There are so many other ways you can also give. I urge you to visit both the Me to We site and the Free the Children site and spend some time learning how you can "be the change that you want to see in the world"!

Halloween For Hunger

October means Halloween time! Encourage your kids to do something different this Halloween...instead of Trick or Treating for candy, collect non-perishable foods for your local Food Banks and Homeless Shelters. Encourage your kids to "Be the Change" and make a difference whenever they can however they can.

The World Needs Your Kid

I recently came across an amazing book from Me to We Books - "The World Needs Your Kid":

Me to We is a social enterprise that challenges people to help change our world by using their daily choices...and it starts with our children. This Canadian based organization is doing amazing things to help shape children not into the leaders of tomorrow, but the leaders of today. Children have a voice and Me to We is helping them find it in each child and teen that they work with. I was truly in awe when I learned of Craig and Marc Kielburgers' story. I encourage you to visit their site www.metowe.com as well as their charity partner Free the Children. There is an overabundance of information, inspiration, and tools to empower your children or your classroom. Visit the site, read the books, get your kids involved! Incredible stuff here!!!!
