I just read an article about Iraqi Kids, "Iraq children 'paying high price' " (BBC NEWS).
Well, I'm not asking who is responsoble for this.
But I just want to know how many of you feel sorry for iraqi kids, how many don't care and how many feel happy about it.
Merry Christmas
Answer
my husband is in the army and he has already been over to Iraq once and already says that kids in the U.S can be spoiled..they have so much..He went on explaining that they have to walk for miles to get water, they live in houses and some in tents they sh** in a hole in the ground, no running water, no a/c, no heat, the floors of their homes are dirt...i can go on forever...put it this way, would you want us to feel sorry for you if you lived in a house with a dirt floor and no a/c in the summer and no hot water...should we feel sad? sorry?

Good ways for kids raise money for a cause?

My two daughters, ages 11 and 13, want to raise money for animal abuse and neglect. It is summer time, but they probably already grew out of lemonade stands. What is a good thing for them to do to raise money? (I will let them go door to door if they stay in the neighborhood)
Answer
Do extra chores for your parents (dust furniture, vacuum carpets, sweep floors, scrub windows). Negotiate the best fees you can, maybe half what they might pay a professional.
Another idea, sell jewelry to a near by, local coffee shop and split the profit. (Make sure this coffee shop isn't a coffee shop that is in a big chain or something, like, don't go to a starbucks!!!)
Mow lawns. Charge different fees depending on the size of the yard.
Sell some of your things that you don't want, with your parents permission.
Walk dogs. They love it, and it would really help out the owner.
Babysit smaller children. Take a babysitting course.
Water Neighbors Plants.
Car washes
Become a "gofer"
Look after the neighbors pets when they go off on vacation.
Go to a local restaurant and see if you can bus tables.
Work for yourself.
Make a profit from selling things. For example, buy $25 of sweets and sell them to other kids at twice the price and you have already made $25.
Sell homemade cookies, brownies, cakes or muffins.
Sell gum
Sell candy at school. You can make around $80 by selling a big bag of Jolly Ranchers for 25 cents a piece. If it's against school rules...sell somewhere else. (Outside the local toy store?)
Wash cars and bikes.
Make your own greeting cards then sell them.
Some states accept glass bottles, soda cans, and plastic bottles at grocery stores, you usually get 5 cents each, but when you bring a really big bag you can get a lot.
Make signs and sell signs. If a new business is opening ask if they would like a few signs and create them and sell them per bundle or sheet.
Find out if there's a craft fair near you which charges small fees or no payment at all. Open your own booth with some friends and sell handmade cards, jewelry, or crafty figures. Your booth can be as small as a card table or as big as a tent
Ask your parents if you can have a few friends over and go to the flea market and set up a booth and sell items there.
Buy a gum ball machine and place it prominently in your house. Good location include places where your parents empty their pockets of spare change in the evening when they come home from work. If the members of your family prefer chocolate, find a machine that dispenses M&M candies. An eleven-year-old boy in bend, Oregon collected more than 200 dollars in quarters in approximately nine months.
