Announcing SVPP Family

(from the January 2009 Newsletter)

There is no more important task than effectively communicating the concepts of giving and serving to our children. Since philanthropy literally means “love of humankind,” the SVPP Family Program offers parents, caregivers and grandparents great books, ideas, activities and resources to raise a child who “gives, shares and cares.”

Our goal of introducing our children to thinking philanthropically is to build a base at an early age so that their awareness will increase and will encourage them to take active part in our community. Since the concept of philanthropy is an abstract term, children will be introduced to it through opportunities that demonstrate caring and giving.

So far in 2009, we are planning two SVPP Family “classes” and two SVPP Service days that are appropriate for school-aged children. If you'd like to know more, contact Marissa Crouch at marissabc@yahoo.com.
