If you are a regular visitor to my blog, you have probably noticed that I have been spending a considerable portion of my energy lately thinking about kids, food and community service. Sustainability is also very dear to my heart, and when I learn about an organization or project that combines all of these concepts, I simply feel the need to share.
The Feed 100 Bag is made from organic cotton in a fair trade factory. The sales of each bag yield enough funding to provide free school lunches to 100 students in Rwanda. Not only does the use of these cloth bags prevent the addition of plastic bags to our landfills, but the proceeds allow hungry children to be fed. And as you probably know, if you have ever tried to concentrate when you are hungry, it usually isn’t very productive. These children are now more productive students…and that means that they can rise to their full potential and improve their own lives and those of their community members as well.
Talk with your kids about how you can help others. Do something simple, such as buying one of these bags, or participate in a larger project, like the Great American Bake Sale . Either way, be proud that you are spending quality time together with your kids to make a difference.
