Charity Begins @ Home

My son and I have often remarked about the need for 'somebody' to clean the area near and around our bus stop at home. Well he has a community service project assignment for school, and we decided to become that 'somebody' who begins charity at home. Our bus stop is also right in front of a day care center, so we decided to include their parking area in our cleanup efforts. Before we knew it, we had covered our whole block and filled two garbage bags. Our goal is to continue for the next 8 weeks to complete his project, but hopefully we will start a trend in our neighborhood and create a good habit for our family. Either way, the area sure looked much better as we waited to catch the bus this afternoon! Hopefully, our neighbors will appreciate our efforts as well.
