Welcome Family

"Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity. " --Buddha
Hopefully through this website we can help teach our kids the importance of charity work. As a family hopefully we can grow closer while building character in our children and make a little difference in other peoples lives. I think everyone wants to serve, but don't exactly know what to do. Hopefully this will help with that process. My Vision This is how I see this working. I will research volenteer/charity work that can be done. Then post it on the blog (and probably send out a mass email). I will set dates and a timeline of when things should be done. Then you will send me pictures of your network participating in the service. So keep a camera or your camera phone handy. Send me an email helpers4humanity@yahoo.com I hope you will participate when you can!!!

Update

Hey Family and Friends,
I have some Fabric!!!! Syracuse Jr. High was getting rid of some curtains and so I took them. I think we should be able to make a few bags out of them. here is a picture below. Also Jaquline, my sister-in-law, was able to get some fabric donated as well. (awesome job jaquline!!!!) I am thinking we should choose a day and try to sew the bags and then get together the second week of September with kids to stuff the bags. What do you think?
Here is the awesome curtain!!!
I also went to walmart. They had notebooks for .15 I have enough for 12 bags!!! I also have enough pencils, erasers and colored pencil. I think a 6 pack of erasers was about 1 dollar and the colored pencils were a dollar. It's all super cheap!!!

Save all your receipts and I will find out if there is a way we can use them to deduct from our taxes. (julie banta...you will be getting a call from me)

If you want to shop with your kids, I have a shopping list with pictures on it. I don't know how to attach it on the blog, so email me and let me know you want it. I will send it to you!!!
