POPSDrawn from water This organization seems pretty open about how your charitable donation will be used. The organizers do not take money for themselves; therefore, all funds go directly toward caring for the children. How heartbreaking for the parents of these children: send them away or see them killed.

POPSTeaching kids to cook I love having my daughter help in the kitchen. (I also secretly love showing her the effort and the love that goes into creating a meal for the family. It doesn't magically appear, you know). She can make a salad by herself now. I even let her use the sharp knife (at 5!). I might be crazy. She is getting her own cookbook for Christmas. Sometimes it is hard for me to let go of my presentation perfectionism and just let her do it as well as she can. I have big plans for her to make a whole meal herself. I'll let you know how that goes. Hahahaha.

POPSCharity begins at home Charity begins at home means that family members are more important than anyone else, and should be the focus of a person's efforts. Source I always thought this phrase meant that charity is learned at home. Teaching my daughter to cultivate and appreciate a charitable heart might be the most important thing I do. My parents truly blessed me growing up in a giving home.

POPSYou can change a life, maybe your own The 2008 Dewey Donation book drive is up and running. I know there are many book lovers on Clipmarks. You can donate money or you can buy a book from the wishlist. You can choose the book you send to help a child. When you let them know you donated, be sure to mention Clipmarks. We might get more than warm fuzzies in return; we might get valuable new Clippers for the community. If you donate, feel free to leave a comment here and tell us, so we can high-five you!

POPSChildren kidnapped for the LRA I feel like I've clipped this before, but I cannot find it. Read the stories from children that were taken from their families and forced to serve in The Lord's Resistance Army in northern Uganda. Then pick up a nameplate necklace. Mine bears the name James O.

POPSChildren's sexuality shouldn't be stifled "Children must learn about sexuality, otherwise things can go very wrong," said Langfeldt. "Children can't object to something they don't know about, and children can more easily and readily report assaults if they already are aware of their own sexuality." Juul conceded that "many are disturbed by children's sexuality, but I think it's important to put it on the agenda. That, in fact, is what we're doing."

POPSKids-In-Mind: Movie Ratings that Actually Work I have used this site a few times. They really break it all down for you. So if you don't want to know exactly what is in the movie, don't look. I appreciate how detailed they are when I am reviewing movies for my toddler.

POPSHistory of the Topsy-Turvey Doll Kimberly Wallace-Sanders, a professor with Emory University, points out that the apartheid ban on black dolls signaled the political and moral potency of the doll in its time. She asks, “Why would you ban a doll if it wasn’t so powerful?”, Indeed. I had no idea this doll was so politcally charged.
