So, for those of you who don't know me, we're an Xbox family. For years, I swore I would never purchase a system as I lose my family members to the television and computer enough as it is and felt that a gaming system would fracture that family time I'm always looking for. I was definitely wrong. It's something we definitely do (and laugh at) together. One of the games we love is Toy Story 3 and a part of the game is that you have to save the "orphans."
Immediately, a lightbulb went off in my bed. I couldn't believe I hadn't yet posted about a program I'm very excited about. It's called Show Hope: A movement to care for orphans. For just $35 a month, you can sponsor an orphan in dire need of care. "There will be opportunities to send letters, prayers, and encouragement to the children you will impact; and through pictures, updates, and visits, you will be able to connect with the special needs orphans you help at Maria’s Big House of Hope." How awesome would that be to have your preschooler connect with someone across the world? Not only does this teach compassion and empathy but it just might save a child's life.
