An explanation for kids; written by a kid like you. (10 years-old)

Is it just me or does it sometimes feel like the world is going to fall to it's knees if we don't work to help it? Destruction seems to never end. Hopes fail sometimes. Don't get depressed though! There is a way to help! In Saratoga Springs there's a children's program that wants to prevent that from happening. They work once a month to help a part of the world where the human race needs a lot of help! Such as Haiti, destitute places in Africa, even a homeless shelter in Salt Lake City! This program is called Serving with Smiles. This is a program for children. Here's how the program works: The Directors (or grown-ups) and children gather once a month in a church building in the neighborhood. The directors of the projects had bought the supplies for their project beforehand. Then they set up some tables around the gym. By the time the the children arrive all the tables are set up and each table has a fun project for the kids to do. The projects are things such as making bracelets, bead geckos, hats, story books, etc. Each kid can pick ANY of the projects available! It's our choice not the grownups! After most of the projects are done, we clean up and listen to a guest speaker and then sometimes make kits. We make Humanitarian Kits, Baby Kits, Hygiene Kits, etc. After that it's time to go home. This process only takes 1 HOUR! What do we do with the kits, then? We send them to a part of the world in need. The same goes for the projects we make. Guess what, it's also free! They love donations though so they can buy more supplies for kits! How do I know so much about it? Well I happen to go to this program! Believe it or not, I'm just a normal 10 year old girl!
