…on helping at-risk children around the world. Every night
at bedtime I say prayers with my 3-year old son, Justice. This past
Saturday night we said a prayer of thanks for giving him such a great
mommy, and asked God to show us how we could help all the children
around the world without mommies.

We had talked earlier in the day specifically about Africa -
after a picnic with a good friend who is one of the lost
boys from Sudan - and discussing that the following day was
the official target="_blank">Day for Darfur.

After the 10 second prayer…a short pause
with a furrowed brow you could tell was doing some deep 3-year old
thinking…then, “Daddy, tomorrow let’s fly 20 airplanes to
Africa to help all the orphans.”

Ah, what a great confirmation that our commitment to use all
our after-tax
profits for children’s charities is a strong and true
commitment. In fact, this single confirmation from a three-year old
means more to me than all the nay-sayers combined.

How can you help at-risk children around the world (including our own
country)? One way is by purchasing a Fair Trade
sports ball, but I bet you can come up with a few ideas as
well. Share your thoughts below…
