My dearest mothers-in-arms,
I swear to you from the bottom of my heart that I do not throw this out to you for anything but the purest of reasons. My intentions are totally and completely above reproach. Please keep this in mind.
On November 30, children around the globe will take a vow of silence for 24 hours to raise money and awareness for those children who are denied their human rights and their voice. Through Free The Children, this incredible silent protest will help put a spotlight on the injustices many children around the world experience.
I am always looking for ways for my children to become involved, but often they are too young to participate quite yet. The Vow of Silence is a perfect way for them to learn about the plight of their peers in other countries and contribute to a meaningful cause.
So, we’re signing up and I am in telling you that in no way will I enjoy the silence. Tee hee.
Love,
Candace
P.S. Check out the Free the Children’s Vow of Silence page. Let me know if your kids sign up. We can help each other through those very quiet 24 hours. :)
