10 ways kids can helpother kids in need

Kids have compassionate hearts and love to give

generously! Here are some exciting and challenging ways children can lend a hand for

others who are in need.

Host a lemonade stand, bake sale, car wash, or other fundraiser to collect donations for children in poverty. Make a donation to a charity like World Vision that helps kids and their families.

Educate yourself about the lives of kids in other countries using the free resources and interactive games at www.WorldVisionResources.com. There are so many interesting things to learn about their culture, language, food, schools, and families!

Locate a thrift shop in your community and gather up toys, games, and books in good condition that you don’t use anymore and donate them for children who can’t afford brand-new things.

Pray for kids around the world who do not have enough food to eat, a warm place to sleep, or the chance to go to school. Ask God to use you to help others.

Organize a care package for your sponsored child. If your family sponsors a child through World Vision, you can send them a small package of gifts that they will enjoy. Consider sending items that you enjoy playing with!

Teach your classmates about how they can help children living in a country in Africa, Asia, or Latin America by show-and-tell, writing a paper, or setting up a display.

Help out in a local soup kitchen or food pantry that serves homeless families and children, especially around the holidays.

Encourage a child affected by a disaster by writing a cheerful letter, telling him or her that you care, and send the letter through an organization like World Vision to send overseas.

Recycle cans, bottles, paper, or other items to raise money to buy a gift for a family in need from World Vision’s Gift Catalog. You can donate towards a dairy cow, bicycle, school fees, water well, or many other fun and fascinating items.

Share hope with a child in need. You can be a friend to a child your family sponsors through World Vision, perhaps even a child that shares your birthday! Go to worldvision.org/veggietales to search for kids to sponsor and learn about the positive impact your family can have on a child’s life.

World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by

tackling the causes of poverty and injustice.

Joining together to teach kids about the value of helping others, VeggieTales is partnering with World Vision on the release of ‘Twas the Night Before Easter to

encourage families to sponsor children in need.

Child Sponsorship through World Vision helps build a better world for children – so that they may be educated, cared for, protected, and kept in good health. Through child sponsorship, parents can teach their kids about serving and caring for others, including

opportunities to encourage and correspond with children around the world. Parents can sign up to sponsor a child for $35 per month.

To sponsor a child and to learn more about VeggieTales’ partnership with World Vision, go to worldvision.org/veggietales.
