Children choose books to read from the sendacow children's site cowforce.com and then invite a 'Send a Cow Ambassador' to come and speak about the charity's work.<br />2. Children are given bookmarks to encourage a sponsorship and continue reading<br />3. Continued reading will earn the children stickers for their bookmarks to show progress. Teacher's can get materials from a site dedicated to them called cowfiles.com<br />4. Children collect their sponsorship money and match it to help what we give in africa using sendacowgifts.org.uk<br />5. Children send the money in and they will receive a thank you certificate and we send you one too.<br />6. The money gets to work straight away to help families grow enough to eat, have an income and protect their environment.*Just one book can start a whole chain of giving.... :) <br /><br />Hope you can spread the word on behalf of me to possibly your children's schools. What do you think about this new avenue we are taking to change a family's future?Sendacowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017407889532226644noreply@blogger.com
