By Rebecca Smith
I am 15 years old and have always loved little children. My mom often speaks of how blessed we are and how poor Haiti was when she visited there many years ago.
So, when my best friend and I completed the Red Cross Babysitting Course we started Angel Keepers, a parent’s night out one Saturday a month at our church. I knew I wanted to give my share of the money we earned to Lambi Fund of Haiti.
Once a month we have a group of about 25 kids and we choose a different theme. We read the children a bible story, feed them a snack and dinner, play games, and make two crafts related to the theme.
I knew the only reason it works is because God is on our side, so I want to give it back. My mom helped me research all the charities that help poor children all over the world, and I chose the Lambi Fund of Haiti because I had heard how poor Haiti was and I thought the children there could really use it.
I hope my work donating to Lambi Fund inspires other youth around the world to do special projects and donate the proceeds to this worthwhile cause.
