Be Kind To Animals Week: May 5 - 11, 2014
Wouldn't it be nice if we no longer needed sponsored weeks to encourage compassion and kindness towards animals?
Until that day is here, why not use this first week of May to raise awareness about how our community and the world, benefits from raising compassionate children?
