Helping families choose private schools and summer camps
With the Oprah Winfrey talk show’s farewell season underway and the launch of her network OWN on Jan. 1, singer Marcos Brinson is among the countless people inspired by Winfrey’s dedication to helping children, women and families live their best lives.
We all want our kids to grow up to be socially responsible and harbor compassion for their fellow man. And the holidays are a great time of year to show them how to do just that. ‘Tis the season for giving and you can help them most by setting a good example. Donation is an activity that comes in many forms, but if you’ve never done it before, you may not have the first idea about where to start or what to do (much less how to get your kids involved). But there are plenty of options when it comes to extending a helping hand to those who are less fortunate. So if you’re looking for a way to teach your kids a valuable lesson about charity this holiday season, here are a few ways you can get the whole family together to give something back.
Helping Hands profiles the efforts of schools and camps making a difference, whether it’s giving back to their local communities or influencing change overseas.
