This video describes how 10 year-old Laura Stockman initiated a powerful December charity challenge through her blog post 25 Days to Make a Difference. During the last week of November, 2010, I shared her amazing, inspirational story through my blog and emailed Chris Harbeck, another Winnipeg educator, suggesting he might like to engage his students in donating money for a charity of their choice.
This video demonstrates the power of sharing through blogging and how a 10 year-old child could initiate a significant, educational December charity action. Laura’s initiative will have a lasting impact on both those who contributed and, more importantly, on those who received.
