7-year-old raises money for Canadian Red Cross
June 26th, 2006 by adminFew children make a point of catching the latest edition of World Vision on television.For most kids, the dire circumstances of others their age living without food, water and shelter, and suffering the horrifying effects of AIDS, in the Third-World nations, don’t register.
But Japnaam Kaur isn’t like other children.Since age four or five, she has asked her parents to choose channels that are playing World Vision when they sit down to watch TV.
And once the program ends, she always says the same thing: “I want to help them.”
With the help of her parents, her school and other children in her neighbourhood, the seven-year-old set up a lemonade stand and recently raised $290 for the Canadian Red Cross.
