Bennett is a five year old boy living in Canada. He asked to have his friends coming to his birthday party to bring him presents that children in an Honduran Daycare Center would like. His mother had shown him photos of these young kids on their website, www.roatan-daycare.com. His excitement and happiness from doing this has inspired the Center to pass this spirit on. These children at the Roatan Daycare Center who come from parents in need will now give as they have been given. Volunteers will make wooden cars, the daycare kids will paint them and sell them instead of keeping them, to help pay for their non-profit home-away-from-home. They’ll be a “Made-on-Roatan” gift for visiting parents and grandparents to take home to their little ones. The daycare children will learn that they too can be ‘givers.’
Bennett’s mother wrote: “Bennett is a regular little boy. We’ve been on a quest to hold onto things less tightly and be more generous with things. We feel blessed to have found your organization. It’s given us a great opportunity to teach our kids about kids around the world in a way that empowers them not to just “know” but to “do.” We’re proud of Bennett for inspiring other kids in our neighborhood to do similar things!”
