UNICEF boxes
Good chances are that for the second time in three years my now 6 year old son has raised the highest amount of money in our town on Halloween night using the UNICEF box supplied by his school. I can't explain how proud it made me feel while witnessing him describing the box to people and asking them to help "hungry children" as he put it, before asking for candies. He mentioned the phrase "trick or treat" only after he was finished asking for peoples' help for the hungry children. Two years ago when he was only 4, he was interviewed by two local newspapers and was asked why he decided to help other children. "I thought no body would help hungry children, so I decided to help them", he told the reporter. He had also put 10 dollars for the same box from his piggy bank and this year he officially has increased it to 1 dollar a week out of his 3 dollars weekly allowance.
