Kids for Kids Program
We feel that some of even the youngest
kids who participate in our programs could gain value from our new
"Kids for Kids" programs.
How younger kids can participate:
Some of the kids who join us for Birthday Parties or Farm Study
Trips are very lucky and can enjoy many material things in their
lives. Other kids in the Bay Area cannot participate in as many
activities because their families cannot afford them.
Here's the main idea behind this
program:
Once kids have come to Deer Hill
Ranch and have actually participated in our programs, we feel they
can appreciate how much other kids might enjoy coming here as well.
However, some kids aren't as well
off economically as others in the Bay Area and we thought up the
idea of creating a way for kids who might like to help bring less-advantaged
kids to the ranch.
Individual kids or classes can help
sponsor another kid or class by raising the money themselves.
This does not mean dipping into the piggy bank or asking Mom or
Dad for some money. This entails actually working and earning the
money which can then be given as a gift to help others. The program
fee for one child for a Farm Study Trip is $12.00. The program fee
for one child for a half-day Youth Team Building is $40.00. A full
day program costs $65.00.
Whether a child is four years old
and raises 10 cents or a teenager is 16 and raises $35.00 doesn't
matter. It is the simple act of caring and compassion and actually
doing something to initiate social change which matters.
