Young Children, v61 n4 p106-107 Jul 2006
In a summer program for school-agers 6 to 12 years old, the children devise a meaningful, real-life experience to alleviate the midsummer doldrums and hope to "make the world a better place." They collect, repair, and paint old children's bicycles to present, along with new helmets, to children at a nearby homeless shelter. In this article, the author encourages the children to boost their ideas and presents the process and the lessons learned from the activity; the value of working together, friendship and the value of inclusion.
