Friends Who Care

Every day, children all around the world show they care by finding ways to help others!

Cookies and Puppets

Our family had a “season of service.” My brothers and I made puppets for children in an orphanage. We also took chocolate chip cookies to some firemen and cleaned up at a lake. I’m glad we could serve!

Better than Christmas

My mom and dad were exhausted from a long day. I washed and put away the dishes and cleaned the floor, table, and counter. Then I cleaned the living room and the playroom. When my mom and dad woke up, they said it was better than Christmas!
