Getting kids excited about helping kids
I've just returned from a fantastic (and full!) five weeks in Liberia, and sorting through my inbox this morning was so encouraging--all kinds of exciting things happening on THIS side of the Atlantic that everyone can get involved in.
Kids LAKE is a group of parents and teachers encouraging their children to raise awareness and resources for kids living in poverty. This month they're raising money for mosquito nets, saving lives $7 at a time. 100% of the money that the kids raise will go directly to our staff in the field, so every nickel and dime from that lemonAID stand goes right where it's needed most.
Having just got back from hanging a few dozen nets myself, I can tell you it's incredible how simple a net is, yet what a tremendous impact it makes.
To get your kids involved in small but lifesaving projects like this, visit www.kidslake.org. And thank you to all those kids and parents and teachers doing such great work!

Hey thanks! We are having a BLAST! I just got 3 emails today saying that other families were participating! We are looking for a neighborhood to camp out in on Thursday night for another LemonAID stand!
Thanks for all your hard work guys!
