The YM-YWHA of North Jerseys Summer
Playschool presents:
WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR
 It
has become a tradition at Summer
Playschool at the YM-YWHA of North
Jersey for our campers to have an Act of
Kindness project to collect money for a
childrens charity. This year, we
embarked on a different kind of project.
We began a Star Collection to benefit
the Make a Wish Foundation. This
organization grants wishes for children
who are facing serious, life-threatening
illnesses.
Each child was asked to decorate at
least one star at camp and one star at
home to bring in and hang up in our
hallway. By the end of the summer, we
had collected 300 stars. Parents,
siblings and friends all got involved
and created some beautiful stars. We had
a star counting event and then asked
parents to pledge a certain amount per
star. Contributions were collected in
the amount of $1000 and sent to the Make
a Wish Foundation.
Our children learned a valuable lesson
about giving to others and helping to
make the world a better place. They also
learned to appreciate how important it
is to be a part of a caring community
here at the Y, where parents and
children, friends and families can come
together to make a meaning donation to a
worthy charity.
