The Foundation for a Better Life promotes so many great causes for adults and children. Its website www.passiton.com has daily quotes of encouragement as well as weekly articles with good news to make us smile and be uplifted. My blog post this week is about its online article Born to Make a Difference - Kids Who are Changing Their World.
Adults often complain about the younger generation, with complaints ranging from lack of respect to too much involvement in social media. However, this article highlights many children who are movers and shakers in helping to change their world.
Captured in the photo for this blog post are Jamil Jackson and sisters Melati and Isabel Wijsen. Jamil started when he was 9 years old to distribute “Blessing Bags” to the homeless in Chicago. These bags are filled with important items such as toiletries, food items and other essentials. Sisters Melati and Isabel started a successful campaign to free their beaches in their country Bali from plastic. Beaches there are now plastic free!
The article mentions the names of several other children who are involved with projects for recycling and even some who are inventors in their communities. And of course, there are countless numbers of children involved in projects to raise money for worthy causes.
The next time you hear anyone criticize the younger generation, be sure to mention all the good things that children are doing all over the world!
