14-Year Old Highlights the Plight of the Homeless

David Ashby, who is 14, set out on a walk from Orlando to Washington D.C. to highlight the plight of homeless children.

He will stay in homeless shelters along the way and eat only free food available to homeless people.  His goal is to raise awareness and money for shelter that help children.

Kids Getting Busted For Doing Good Deeds

In Milan Michigan this summer,  police will stop children and give them a ticket for doing a good deed.  The ticket is for ice cream or a book, etc..

The ideas was generated by a Family Circle article from the 90's as a way to reward kids.

Consider implementing a program like this in your community.
