My Next Project

Dear Friends,

Haven Family House was so much fun!  Thank you to my friends who donated toys and came with me on the trip to Haven Family House.  I am thinking that my next project will be to donate gently used clothes to a charity I heard about called Clothes4Souls.  I think this will really help needy people in the world.  It is sad that so many people cannot afford clothes.

If you have any extra clothes that are gently worn and still have a few years left in them, then maybe you can donate them!  Please let me know and my mom and I will pick them up.  Then we will send them to Clothes4Souls.

Your Friend,
Lauren

Haven Family House

Hi Friends!

Today some of my friends and I went to Haven Family House.  It is a shelter for families who have lost their homes.  It has a preschool and very nice people to help.  We dropped off a lot of presents!  The presents will be put in a closet called the gift closet and when children come to live there, their parents can choose a gift for them from the closet on their birthday or other special days.  I think it is really nice to give other kids presents!  It makes me feel good and I hope it makes them feel good too.

Your friend,
Lauren

My First Project!

Dear Friends,

I am starting a non-profit group called Love Around the World.  We will help children and families around the world in small ways, like making dresses or shoes and giving presents away.

The first project I am hoping to do is collecting holiday presents from friends and donating them to a local homeless shelter.  Do you have any presents that you don't like as much as others or that you might not play with that much?  Because that would be great if you were willing to give them away!  I think this will really help children in need.

Yours truly,
Lauren
