Here's what kids and parents are saying:
"My daughter loved the "Gift of Giving" site! ...the ability to identify specific choices of how to help others, she took it very seriously and wanted to make the best contribution possible. It made her ask a lot of questions regarding how other children around the world live and she started to realize some of the things in her life that she takes for granted. It opened her heart to the needs of others! "
Paul, the father of a 9 year old

"When I saw that a girl a year younger than I was left on a street corner, I really got into it....I mean if we have all this stuff, and don't do anything with it, and these kids have nothing, what good is it for us to have all this stuff???"
Colton, 8 years old

"It was exciting, I had $50 from my pastor and I really wanted to do something big, I wanted to do the most I could for these kids. I really wanted to help build that well in Africa that would help 360 people!"
Tyler, 11 years old

"We all know Christmas is a consumer racket, it's run by a big eastern conglomerate,"
Lucy VanPelt, From the Charlie Brown Christmas Special.
