Tessah's ...Awesome - Kids never cease to amaze me. Tessah's Girl Scout Troop raised almost $800 dollars in cookie proceeds. One of our girls brought a Heifer International catalog to a meeting - and proposed the troop purchase an animal. What happened actually made me cry. They voted on a promise basket (a variety of chickens, bunnies etc) and 3 shares of other animal. The current "special" is if you buy a basket - Heifer will automatically double any shares you purchase. So the girls ended up donating $135 of their proceeds. It was an interesting lesson in the democratic process and compromise- they actually argued about which shares to purchase - one girl piped in and said - why don't we just do all three...it was great.tessahjakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787190651708227211noreply@blogger.com
