We’re in Peebles, Ohio, where we are staying with some friends for a few days. Our Sarah’s pen pal Leah Brockhoeft is here. They are both nine-years-old and have recently started a: “Club.” The Club is focused on “What Kids Can Do To Help The World.” (Quite a leap from when I was nine and the “Club” was in a tree house where we talked about bicyles, baseball and how to keep girls out.) Leah had recently put together a handmade booklet she sent to Sarah. The booklet included magazine pictures and captions of tsunami victims in Indonesia. It also had a plan Leah had devised for raising money for the survivors. She was doing extra things around the house, like mowing the grass, weeding the garden… to make money for the cause. Shortly after we arrived, Leah and Sarah also made a lemonade stand and raised a considerable bit more for Indonesia as well. Note: <\/strong> The Brockhoefts are not only teaching their children about helping the disadvantaged, they are also teaching them about a gamut of moralistic issues. One being “modesty in dress.” One afternoon the kids went swimming in a small, inflatable back yard pool. For a swimsuit, Leah wore a light, rubberized dress that came down to her knees and snapped in the middle. Leah’s mother Joanne told me she had ordered the dress from a company called: “Wholesome Wear.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
