With a little help from my friends

My heart is feeling all warm and fuzzy today after thinking again on the work of a few young friends of mine who care about the freedom of children around the world about as much as I do. Upon hearing of the millions of enslaved children around the world the Schafer kids ages 5-14 did their homework literally. They researched chocolate, where it was from, how it was made and what companies used slave labor. After sharing their findings with their school group they decided one great way to bring freedom to the kids on the cocoa plantation was to sponsor-a-day of the Run 4 The Rescue.
From painting to weeding, day after day the Schafer kids happily volunteered their time to do dreaded chores earning money to put in the Run 4 The Rescue jar!
On May 30, I was able to meet briefly with the children (before they rushed off on an across Canada tour (www.familyadventuring.com) where they presented me with their full money jar. $79.25!
Today I train 5 hot miles in chains on behalf of the Schafer Kids! Thank you for your compassion, sacrifice and dedication to ending modern day slavery!
