I love the book "Jimmy and Ryan". I found it at hte library and now we following Ryan's journey online
http://www.ryanswell.ca/I try to involve my girls in pasta drives for the local soup kitchen, etc. And today's visit to the blood bank was quite awesome. They got to ask lots of questions, learn about blood and sit on my lap while I donated. There were some videos online of where the blood might go and how it might be used. Not only was the experience educational, but a good 'heart' experience for them - especially at this time of year when commercialism/capitalism is running rampant.
Goodluck and keep us posted on what works for you...
