Neighborhood Kids paying it forward
 

My sons and a neighbor wanted to make some money over the summer. They are 8 and 9 years old. They passed out flyers to the neighbors offering to do garden work, care for pets, etc. They also sold patriotic items for the 4th of July.

I'd told them they could do this only if they'd donate part of their money to a charity. Now I'd just finished reading "Pay it Forward" and there was no doubt in my mind which helpful cause to promote. So I rented the movie and watched it with them, and helped them to understand the concept behind what they were doing. Then we made flyers about the 'Pay it Forward Foundation', the book, and the movie to pass out to as many people as we can.

Sales are going well, and we'll have donations ready to send by the end of next month. More important, we are exposing many new people to this wonderful and simple concept of 'paying it forward' as a way to help make the world a better place.

Warm regards from Carol Ross
