Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids ran a campaign over the past week culminating in the “Kids Help Kids - You Can Too” event on Wednesday October 25. BB4CK asked children in schools to produce original masterpieces on the issue of child hunger, nutrition and solutions to poverty. These creations used a variety of mediums but were all created on brown paper bags. The kids were amazing and their artwork spectacular. They produced nearly 12,000 original works that were distributed at Sunterra Markets and Good Earth Cafes by volunteers. Donations and commitments totalling $12,000 were raised and 100’s of meaningul conversations took place with interested citizens. New approaches to the issue and how we deal with it are being discussed and unimagined solutions are percolating to the surface. For more info visit BB4CK.
