Ken organized an annual fundraiser for the kids in Kenya again this year. It's always neat to see what kinds of exciting things the kids in school come up with to raise money. The idea is for the kids to do jobs or sell services and then they can buy baskets for the Kenya kids. The baskets consist of medical supplies, or food, or a recreation basket, and also a school supply basket.
We asked Andrew and Sam what they should do and Andrew figured we should sell cinnamon buns. I tried to convince him of something that was less time consuming but he was pretty determined and he likes to use rhetoric like his father. (he argues good)
So the family worked together. Mom made a sample batch, Dad designed business cards and the boys went to some of our familiar neighbors to give a sample bun and explain what they were up to. Before long the calls started coming in with orders and mom went to work. The boys sometimes helped start a batch in the bread machine but were often in school for the rest of the process. I must say, Andrew was a great delivery boy, often going on his own to drop off the orders.
It was a great success with the boys raising over $300. I mean...really who can resist these two handsome boys, especailly Sam with icing all over his face?
