This WONDERFUL ACT OF KINDNESS just goes to show you the beauty of unspoilt innocence!

I love it. My children (4) have all began to see the importance of giving. What a way to be inspired.

You're absolutely right. If all politicians and leaders of the world were like your child, there would be universal peace.

in today's day it has become
difficult to find such good character. This child has become an eye opener for the people who just ignore poor people and treat them in a bad manner. I hope this type of nice action will teach people about what they have not known yet.

It is amazing the innate understanding of charity that children have. I have seen it time and time again with my own children. The key is trying to ensure that they do not lose that - that they do not get too hardened by the world around them.

Love and Charity

My 3-year-old showed me just how good it feels to give to others when we went to the store for our 'treat day' (Fridays). She picked out her treat, and noticed a little boy asking his mom to buy him a chocolate bar. The little boy's mom told him they only had enough for bread and milk. My daughter turned to me and asked if we could buy the little boy a chocolate bar as well. Of course, there's no way I could deny that request. The smile on her face when she handed the treat to the little boy, whom she didn't even know, almost made me cry right there in the store. Sometimes I think maybe our children should be running the world.
