Great Resource for Teachers

I am using this book to give my students ideas on what they can do to make a difference in our community.

An excellent resource for both parents and kids

This is an excellent book for both parents and kids and even teachers. There are lots of ideas for everyone and the nice thing about it is that this book is easy to read and understand. We need more books like this one. Hats off to the author.

Fabulous resource!

This is a quick and easy to read book, equally valuable for parents, teachers and kids. It's absolutely filled with fantastic ideas, some of which can be implemented almost immediatly, while some will take a bit longer. Great resource for teaching responsibility and community service!

Good Ideas

This book provides ideas for students, teachers and parents who want to make a difference but are not sure where to start.

Wonderful project ideas!

This book was very helpful to me as I explained to my daughter about being a good person of service. The project ideas seem to relate well to the interest of kids and many can be done by the kids themselves. Other projects will require adult help. I think this book is very good. As we read through the book, my daughter had many questions, as well as suggestions and modifications for certain projects. It was very thought provoking and inspiring.
