27 Fantastic Books For Kids Of All Ages
Julianne Moore teams with Save the Children
Filed under: Activities: Babies, Celeb Parents, In The News
Julianne Moore is the celebrity spoke person for special Valentines that spread twice the love: once to the recipient and again by helping children living in poverty.
The Academy Award nominee has joined the Save the Children organization saying, "Recently, I visited one of the poorest, most remote communities in the mountains of Appalachia, where Save the Children has worked for more than 75 years. In a land of such wealth and prosperity, it is shocking to see so many children and their families struggling to get by. In fact, in rural America, one in five children lives in poverty."
Donations made to Helpful Hearts activates a link that allows Valentines featuring children's artwork to be emailed or printed out. The money raised helps Save the Children reach children in poor, rural communities in the United States through early childhood education, literacy, physical activity and nutrition programs.
What a simple and lovely way to show you care, twice.

Politely Managing Children at Thanksgiving Dinner
Thanksgiving dinners always include family members of all ages. I recommend, for a flawless event that the adults can enjoy and the children as well, that you set a table separately for the children and serve the children earlier than the adults.

Jen Henry said...This is a great idea! Thanks for sharing this.
I may get shot down for saying this...while I genuinely feel badly for poor children in other countries I also would find myself getting frustrated when I would hear people over and over again asking me to donate money around the world when there are so many kids right here in our own country that need it. That might sound selfish, and it's not my intent. As a teacher in rural America I would see children that were without adequate food and clothing and yet classrooms were doing fundraisers to send money around the world to 'needy' kids. I understood the lesson that those teachers were trying to get across, but I kept seeing in my mind these fabulous community projects that could be done and where we could really SEE the results.
Although I do think sometimes it is easier to give anonymously around the world than within your local community for fear of offending someone that may not want or appreciate your charity efforts.
Once again, I hope this doesn't come across as selfish, and I think that this sounds like a great project and one that I really would like to do. :)
