“It’s been a thrill so far. The kids have enjoyed it. And we’re enjoying the opportunity. It takes everybody to help out, this is a small piece- this is reading to the children, but a lot of the books talk more about helping a community, helping the sick, contributing to those that are less fortunate. I think they see a lot from us, giving the time to read those books, but the books are about that and several of them I think, realize they can, even at their age, can contribute by just helping in a soup kitchen, or whatever it maybe, picking up trash when they see something on the road or the sidewalks.”
