The idea of kids helping other kids is such a great way to introduce children to being involved in charitable causes and volunteer work, setting them on the path to doing good for others throughout their lives. ↗

I do get clocked. But it's not invasive to the point where it's upsetting. It doesn't encroach. ↗
