Kids build on donation, raise $8,000 for charity

Kids build on donation, raise $8,000 for charity: "For the fifth-graders who gave it to him, who don't quite understand what's hurting him, the pillow answered an important question: How do you help?

It was a bold idea that Jenny Clancy brought to her friend Ronda Payne one day in November.

Clancy, a kindergarten teacher at Village Green Elementary, had seen an episode of Oprah in which the talk show host gave $1,000 to everyone in her 300-person audience. The $1,000 could be donated to any charity or used as seed money to raise even more for the charity of their choice. All she asked was that they document their activities with a video camera."
