Teach children importance of philanthropy � Evansville Courier & Press

Teach children importance of philanthropy � Evansville Courier & Press: "As parents, we have many hopes and dreams for our children. We want to build their moral foundation, give them values and encourage them to be productive people.

Sometimes it becomes difficult to instill values in our children because we may not know about or have the tools necessary to implement values.

Youth workers, teachers, grandparents and other adult mentors also take an active role and have a great deal of influence over our children's values' development. Yet, it is most important for children to develop their own sense of social activism and philanthropic personality."
