I think it's pretty darn safe to say that every parent out there hopes that their children will grow up to be kind, caring, giving human beings. As they get older we teach them everything, from sharing to washing their hands to looking both ways before crossing the street and hope that it all sinks in.
So where has that gotten us? According to the "Kids' Altruism Indicator," conducted by Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks in partnership with Parenting magazine, it has gotten us to the point where 83% of kids believe that they can help children in other countries in addition to people in their own communities. I, for one, am proud to hear that!
Kids dream big when it comes to charitable acts and they enjoy giving, so the next step for all of us adults out there? To encourage it, of course! And from now until the end of May, a wonderful way to do that is by joining Betty Crocker in making it easy for kids to give back through their Win & Give campaign.

Built with rugged plastic exteriors, 1 GB of memory and 4 GB of Flash storage, the XO was collaboratively designed by experts to combine technology with learning. By taking into account extreme environmental conditions, the need for easy repair, and local language support, the end result is durable, functional, energy-efficient, responsive, and fun.

What an amazing thing to provide to children across the world to help them succeed - I love this program!

Not only would that be a fun surprise for your child but for each laptop won, Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks will donate a laptop to a child in Africa. It’s that simple!

Do you give back? Thanks to the generosity of Betty Crocker, one person who does will be able to bring the experience of this program home to their children, because...
One lucky winner will win an XO Laptop! ARV $199!

We clean up our neighborhood. It is a rule that everyone carry a plastic shopping bag whenever we go for walks. If anyone spots trash, they pick it up.

We love volunteering. We do it mostly around Christmas time, but like to volunteer at school events, help out with food drives, and so forth. Having my daughter right by my side is so much fun and she learns the importance of helping others.

I always like to expose the kids to real life, recently we donated clothing and toys to the children's home. They have given to the family downstairs, who just moved in and have nothing. Helping others is so much better then helping ourselves!

I was taught to volunteer at an early age due to my grandmother being in a nursing home. My daughter and I both volunteer in local nursing homes as well as donate locally on a regular basis as opposed to selling items at garage sales.

Our community regularly has fundraisers to help families who are experiencing hard times through illness (with no insurance), loss due to fire, even unemployment. We always attend even if we don't know the family. It's one of the great things about living in a small community in a very rural area!
