In 2008, ten yr old Logan saw pictures of children in the West African Province of Sierra Leone, who were experiencing harships such as schools with no chairs, desks, or recreational equipment. They had few books and roofing that didn't help shelter them from the rain.
Logan wanted to inspire hope after seeing these children with no materials....so, he talked to his parents, teachers, and his community and convinced them to send a 40ft container filled with educational, building, and recreational materials to Sierra Leone!
This is quite the undertaking for a 10yr old, but his caring and concern was felt by everyone in his community. When the container was received in Sierra Leone, the people were very happy and the materials have helped to inspire hope and support education for the people of Sierra Leone.
Logan went on to create a short video, including animation, and a song written and performed by Terry Kelly. This video helps to share the message "Listen to the Children, A Journey of Sharing" with people everywhere.
What a great example of how ordinary people can make a big difference..spread kindness....even on another continent!!
