CHILDREN HELPING CHILDREN

 

Canadian Food for Children received the attached letter and a generous cheque from a ten year old boy in Ontario. The letter speaks for itself. Thank you Charlie and friends.

Letter from 10 year old boy.

Happy Birthday Charlie from
Canadian Food for Children.

On August 27, 2007, we received an amazing email from Mr. Moschye Costantine who is the Director of Mwaza Samaritans Association. This is a non-government organization in Tanzania East Africa. One of the roles of this organization is to care for orphans. It conveys the heartfelt thanks from another 10 year old child in Tanzania to Charlie for his generosity. Here are his exact words:

"I have decided to write you an e-mail as the result of one of our child(ren) Williun Antony (Guillaume Atoine) aged 10 yrs., (who) entered your Web Site...and saw an interesting event that was done by his age mate Charlie D. of April 7, 2007 to donate a certain amount of money from his birthday to poor children like Guillaume is. I saw the boy coming while joyous. I asked him what (is) the matter with you G.? He answered me "Not only elders can do, even the kittens" (can) .

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

"I mean children can help their poor fellow(s), come and see. I wish this age mate long life" he added. He showed me and I was excited not only from what Charlie D. did but with all of your programs of care and support to children and elders. The big concern that Guilliume urged me is that he wants you to send his regards to Charlie and if possible forward this email to Charlie.

A letter was indeed forwarded to Charlie and his family with a printed copy of the above email. What is even more amazing is that this organization did not receive direct funds from Canadian Food for Children.
