Kids Doing Good
What can three kids (ages 7,7 and 2) do to make a difference in our world and the lives of others each day?
We're not sure, but we're going to find out as Jarod, Makenna and Alex (with the help of mom) find good deeds to do each day.
Big or small, we'll share our deeds with you and perhaps inspire more kids to do good!
