Kids Helping Kids - June 1

Come to the Southdale Library, 7100 York Ave. So., Edina, MN 55435 on Sunday June 1, 2008 from 1 to 2:30 pm to celebrate Children’s Day with Red Thread Charities! Enjoy cookies and lemonade while you…

LISTEN: to Emma Charlesworth-Seiler, age 12, tell you about her time in China. Emma Charlesworth- Seiler, who lived in Quzhou, China with her parents and sister for three months while her father taught English there (he is still teaching in China), will talk about what everyday life is like in a "small" city in China, what it is like to be a Chinese-American girl in China, and will discuss her volunteer work in an orphanage there

LEARN: about Billy Pan’s plan to bike 2200 miles through China this summer to raise money for Red Thread. He'll talk about how he plans to deal with the air pollution, where he will eat and sleep, how he will get water for the trip, what he hopes to see and do, and why he is doing this. You can cheer him on and follow his progress all summer long at http//bikingchina.wordpress.com.

CREATE: A Lemonade Stand Sign! You can help children in orphanages in China just by setting up a lemonade stand in your own yard and donating the money you make to Red Thread Charities. We’ll have everything you need to create a fabulous sign!
