By the light of the crickets, I write this entry to you.
I am so proud of Moving Difference, its vision was a 1000 hours over a summer, we did 5700+ the first three weeks.
After a few hours here tonight, I can tell you the number has gone up.
Moving Difference is now 6421 hours completed as a Moving Difference.
There are still a few hundred emails to open but we will get there and we will get them logged.
I wanted to share one email with you this early morning though. It is what this project is all about. I have tucked it below for your reading. I just want to say this about life, once you think you have seen it all, think again.
This world is a wonderful place.
The email:
“Dear Jeny,
The Moving Difference fever struck our house this week! I am reporting our total family hours for the week as 26 and 26 soccer balls donated to Orphans of War Campaign. We encouraged our children to join us in a few activities and for every hour they did, we told them we would purchase a soccer ball for charity. Jake and Stacy really thought it was cool, and we went to Academy last night to get the soccer balls. The kids were so excited they explained what they did to the clerk, who called the manager who give us the soccer balls at a discount. Then informed our children that for the rest of the summer, every hour they did on the Moving Difference project, he would purchased the soccer balls for them to ship to the charity. Needless to say our house is a buzz for next week, the kids have planned themselves into 40 hours!! I am sure that you will have a few more folks helping out in the days ahead – the kids are telling everybody!!
Thank you for this wonderful summer family project. ”
Pretty cool huh?
