Sweetest Lemonade Stand Ever!

A little bit of change can add up to do a world of good! Our club members read about Heifer International, a nonprofit that helps developing communities use real animals to jumpstart their economies so that, for example, children can go to school, families have food to eat, villages can develop businesses, etc. etc. We read and saw a film about the real children, the same age as our members, and how their lives can change just by owning a cow, or goat, or bees, or chickens... It was inspiring and cool to see all the ways that an animal can change a family or community's life!! We sold lemonade at our school's "International Night" -- some of our club members made their own lemonade to sell, and we collected loose change. We have at least enough money to help Heifer purchase a goat, and today we will be counting the money to see what other animals we can provide! At our stand, we also handed out information about Heifer and reminded students and parents that a little bit of change can add up to do a world of good!
