Cookie Sale

This past Sunday our daughters were challenged to raise money for a girl in Africa so she can go to school. The organization is the Hear Africa Foundation which was founded by someone who went to our church. Cici had a playdate yesterday and over the past weeks they had been begging to do a lemonade stand. I thought instead of lemonade, on a sunny fall day perhaps halloween cookies would be in order. Then Cici suggested instead of keeping the money they could donate it to the girl they are raising money for! Just what I was hoping she'd say! They set up right after school and with way more enthusiasm than I could imagine they let the neighbourhood know what they were selling. Soon, kids came with pennies in hand and then parents started coming too. They even stopped cars that drove by and they donated money without even having a cookie. My expectations were blown out of the water as they counted their 26 dollar profit! I am very proud of them, and they were pretty proud of themselves too.
