![Win & Give](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2dhjW6ep9jDRQ8Q6YZ2ZDbdtFlrHSNjl8YUJPK5usiENu5VablFaIRBUke0Cw5z5MYsvbrwTLj9Wqcm5gna183HcAvYDLxagr0Uzcdxx1uQXW31FIugnB4LFZCqNBg70kddLmuY2XDHsC/s320/Win+Give+Logo.gif)
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.

We give back by visiting the Retirement community by our house. They love spending time with our son. We also try to encourage giving by regularly going through toys and clothes and asking our son what he would like to give away. He loves picking things out for other kids to play with.
I used the mega-rubberband to launch the hero. It took me a couple of tries, but I finally got him landed!

This is such an awesome giveaway - if you only knew how many boxes of gushers my dd has talked me into buying!!!! Yesterday I saw my dd finally part with some old skate shoes that she had and did not have the heart to part with, because the neighbor girls had never had skates before. She came home from school and made several boxes that she labeled for us to save stuff to take to her school to help save the planet, ie: old ink cartridges, cell phones - batteries....etc.....
And this year, my kids and I are planning a trick or treating food drive in our neighborhood! We are sending out flyers ahead of time and then pulling a wagon trick or treating with us. We will collect canned goods for our local food shelf, in hopes of giving some local community members a happy, healthy Thanksgiving!

I buy an extra item or two (on sale or coupon) each grocery trip to donate to our neighborhood food bank. We regularly participate in food and coat drives. When I was teaching, I organized the school-wide drives to benefit the food bank and an Assistance Center that helped young families furnish their first apartments. I always included my son in these activities--as a young child, he was responsible for choosing the toys for New Toy Drives at Christmas. As a teen, he volunteered at the local blood bank and is still a regular contributor.
I launched the Rocket and missed by a mile! LOL--it asked me where I learned to fly!

My husband, our two kids (ages 14 and 10) and I are currently in El Salvador as missionaries. We moved here in July of 2010 with plans to be here for one year. While here we are teaching Bible classes but also distributing medical equipment, clothing, toys, and various other items to those who need it. It has been wonderful for me to get to watch my children experience giving out the clothing and toys to children who have almost nothing. My children have learned a whole new concept of what "need" really is and how they can help others. These lessons of giving are ones that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
