Let children know that their contributions are welcomed - their opinions are sought and actually appreciated. Then you will see a smile cross a child's face and he/she knows they are appreciated and loved and that even though the problems of the world will be theirs, they (the present caretakers) are wonderful loving teachers. (Who practices what they preach -it bothers children to have adults lie to them and insult them by thinking a child doesn't know what's happening - we did at twelve.) Let's listen to the children ~ they are probably even more aware with the communications available nowadays!

Throughout out contests, we will be offering winners prizes such as our necklaces and also Savings Bonds for educational purpose. The Essay Contests will be started upon advisement.
