They have been looking into the needs of developing countries and the difficulties other children their age face in getting the things they take for granted like clean drinking water, a balanced diet or even enough to eat. Access to education and it's benefits have also been highlighted.
They are in the process of choosing a gift through the Tear Foundation Useful Gifts website #http://tear.org.au#
Some of the gifts are very simple like a chicken or school supplies that will help an individual; Then there are gifts to help communities like wells and pumps for clean drinking water and a community school employing a teacher for a year.
It is hoped that other classes in the junior school also take part in the idea and if every student puts in $5 they would raise $1,690 to help a community.
If we could all think more like this, imagine what future we could create.
Who will you be buying for this year?
