Feed a Young Mind... and a future unfolds! I am so proud to be
associated with this company, Usborne Books at Home... a company that acts on a
corporate level to help out families in need. Recently, my fellow consultants
and our customers embraced the
Feed A Young Mind
promotion, bringing the basics of education and community building to families a
world away. Thinking globally and acting locally ~ we are making a
difference!
Events of this past summer have brought home to us Canadians the very
difficult living conditions that those who live in third-world countries endure
day after day, year after year: drought, homelessness, no electricity,
contaminated food sources, extreme weather etc etc. And I am very very proud to
know that despite hardships, my company and my colleagues continue to reaching
out. Yay us!
Find out how you can help children in your own
community...
 Feed
A Young Mind
Usborne Books at Home consultants and their customers across Canada raised
money to bring books, safer classrooms and other essential educational products
to children in a small village in Upper West Ghana, Africa.
We pioneered, with
Canadian Feed
The Children, a promotion called
Feed a Young Mind,
which raised money that was spent on improvements to the educational facilities
at Nator, in the Nadowli district of Upper West Ghana in Africa. This year, we
have already surpassed last year's donation and are well on our way to doubling
our contribution!
 Usborne
Books at Home's donation helped build a new school and sanitary facilities as
well as contributed to to the purchase of desks and chairs for students and
teachers, as well as tables, bookcases and books for the school library.

"To
laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the
affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false
friends;
to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden
patch or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is the meaning of success."
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
