Plead for Volunteers

Mom and I were at a school today spaing the teachers- oh what fun! :o) But I was very troubled today to find out that many children come to Kindergarten not knowing their colors, how to spell their name, the alphabet or even how to hold a crayon. This happens when there is NO home base for support. These children are growing up in homes that the adults are too caught up in themselves. I am not for tv for young children, but if these kids had atleast seen Dora, or another child show, they would know their colors and letters! Instead they are watching adult programing (and we wonder why they know so much at such an innocent age!) So, this is a plea to get involved. Go to a school in your community (especially one where there are underprivilaged children),and find a way to volunteer! Mom is going to be reading to/with children once a week. I'm going to find a place to plug in in Troy. Please do what you can! Even if you cannot volunteer during school hours, I'm sure there is a child in your life who could use some extra attention! These children are the future of this nation! If we want to break the poverty cycle- we MUST show them the way! Kudos to the teachers among us, and those who lend a helping hand to those in need!

Love is...enriching the life of a child!
