Proud dad

Today I am very proud of my daughter. Or should I say, more proud than usual. Foremost among the reasons for this are that tomorrow, she and one of her school friends will be selling tickets at school for a fund raising project for Children In Need. What is so cool about this is that Maddie, and her friend, decided to do this on their own. They came up with the scheme. Approached the headmaster to get approval, came up with the posters and pretty much organised the whole thing themselves. That she and her friend felt moved  enough to take action is pretty amazing, in this world where we are led to believe that children are lazy and self absorbed. Not these kids, and the same can be said for kids all over the UK tomorrow who will be doing similar things, and for other kids around the world who get involved in charitable endeavour because they know it's the right thing to do.
