Got Some Loose Change?

Today I brought in a donations box to my class to raise money to put through plan Canada and get a family a cow. No one knew about it then I told them it was to get family's cows, hens, pigs, etc. After a while one of my friends came and he donated $15.00 then another one of my friends donated a dollar and pretty soon everyone was taking all their loose change saying they would bring more tomorrow. I just couldn't believe it. At least 18 people started grabbing all their loose change to give. They didn't even know about the fundraiser before but they still gave their loose change to help stop world poverty. Then when I was walking home I realized that poster was right. I did have to be the be the change I wanted to see in the world.
