12 Kids Doing Their Part Giving Us All Hope
Thursday, January 27th, 2011Tonight as I do a last round, the following caught my eye in my Twitter account.
10 Great Philanthropists Who Are Kids
Now, actually there are 12 children and their stories, each with their own YouTube video for you to watch. But someone decided to say 10 (maybe because two of the stories are two young people teamed up). If you think kids don’t know or care, you’re sadly mistaken.
Making A Difference
o Abby Miller, age 12 (helping a friend with cancer)
o Olivia Bouler, age 11 (raised $200,000 for the National Audubon Society)
o Cameron Cohen, age 11 (see what he did after bone tumor surgery)
o Jordan Somer, Nebraska teen (events for females with physical/mental disabilities)
o Phoebe Russell, age 5 (raised $1,000 for the San Francisco Food Bank)
o Brittany and Robbie Berquist, ages 12 and 13 (paid an $8,000 phone bill for a soldier)
o Mackenzie Bearup, age 16 (donated over 50,000 books to treatment centers)
o Timothy Hwang and Minsoo Han, both 14 (5 cities, 800 volunteers, all students)
o Zach Bonner, age 11 (2,448 mile March Across America, $25,000 raised)
o Harry Mosley, age 9 (inoperable brain tumor, incredible story!)…
Incredible stories giving me more than a glimmer of hope for the future – hope most of us need desperately in today’s world!
Below is just one story, use the link above to hear the rest – you will not be sorry!
These are our world’s next leaders – whether they know it or not! If 12 kids can set out to save a piece of the world, don’t you find that awe-inspiring!?
