Come Aboard With Us On The Kindness Train

 "The moon stays bright when it doesn't avoid the night" - Rumi

A lot is going on in the world. Each day we are served up a load of news, that is hardly ever pleasant. But even in the craziest of times, the Choose To Care (CTC) team remains focused on our goal. CTC is a nonprofit that was founded in 2008 with a mission to provide a brand new pair of shoes for the child and young adult in need. 

Each month, through Donors choose(donorschoose.org), a nonprofit that provides resources for public school teachers, nationwide, we honor a teacher's request for her project. For the month of October, we are traveling to PS45, John There, Staten Island, NY. The very kind teacher, Mrs Midttveit, asked for help for her 3rd -5th grade students. She requested tap shoes for their tap lessons.  She is enthusiastic about bringing the art of dance to her deserving students and she feels that tap would be an engaging form of dance and a fun way to engage her students in some exercise. We are glad to deliver these tap shoes for children in need.

Despite the heavy weight of this year, these words sum up CTC and its supporters:

Kind hearts are the garden

Kind thoughts are the roots

Kind words are the blossoms

Kind deeds are the fruits

We still have a favor to ask, while you are busy spreading kindness, please put in a good word about Mother Earth. Let everyone know that each of us has the responsibility to keep the planet we live on, in a healthy state.

Thanks for the incredible impact we are making together.

Peace and Love
