Buy Rocks for the African Children

Dear, people
Please buy these rocks becuse i will give the african people to get money they do not have jobs, clean water, and food please help them they need sweets and vegetables. 

Two weeks ago, my 1st grader, Iyasu, was outside with a friend gathering rocks. He came inside looking to make a sign so that he could sell rocks to the neighbors for the children of Ethiopia. (He still remembers the trip from two years ago). Who was I to stop him.

Last night he said, "Mama, we need toner for the printer". I told him I'd buy some this weekend. I was distracted and forgot to ask him why. This morning I went to check on the printer, opening the top of the printer, a sheet of paper falls to the ground, with this letter, written in pencil.

I froze and laughed and became serious and introspective and awed by my son's heart for those less fortunate than himself. I can't wait to show his father. Now my son has me thinking, what levels will I go to meet the needs of people here and abroad?
