Childhood memories stand the test of time. Childhood experiences shape the person that he or she is to become. For the last 3 years I have been involved with the Kids Up Front organization and have had the privilege of sharing what I know of jewelry making to a group of children who otherwise do not have opportunities like I did as a child. We call the event "One Heart Bead at a Time". I have been so lucky to share what I know with children from the "Big Sisters, Little Sisters" organization and the "Yellowhead Youth Centre" just to name a couple. The Kids Up Front organization is a non-profit society that collects unused tickets and monetary donations to have children experience things that we take for granted: a hockey game, horse back riding lessons, trips to the zoo...an afternoon of jewelry making. It is only a small thing that I can give back to a world that has given so much to me and my own children. Thank you to Karla & Christine for organizing this each year, and Gail & Diane for sharing this experience with the kids. More information about how you can donate tickets or money can be found at www.kidsupfrontedmonton.com Thank you.
