GIVEAWAY ALERT! Take the P&G Clean Water Family Kindness Challenge!

written by Tanya Toledano

Disclosure: I am a P&Gmom/mamanP&G. As part of my affiliation with this group I receive products and special access to P&G events and opportunities. As always, all opinions on this blog are my own and can never be bought 🙂

My hubby and I have always felt that it was important to instill in our children a sense of social responsibility.

We often take what we have for granted, but we must remember that so many people have so much less than we do.

Depositphotos_13519318_xsWhat can we do to help those less fortunate than ourselves?

That can be a very daunting question, because there are so many that are less fortunate, and for so many different reasons.

We start off by attempting to stay aware and help the kids to become aware of the world around us and some of the challenges that people face both locally & globally.

Stopping for a moment to be grateful for what we have, rather than complaining about what we do not.  It doesn’t always work so well, especially with kids who find this a difficult concept to grasp, but we keep working on it until they begin to realize.

Once we are aware, it’s time to SHARE. We go through the toys in the basement once to twice annually to look for items that are still in good condition but that we don’t need or that aren’t getting used as much- they would be so very much appreciated by a child who doesn’t have so much.

Donation box with children toys on blue background close-upWe encourage our children to step up.  If there is something that they know about where they are able to make a difference, we encourage them to do so.  My daughter learned about Free The Children last year and this year became actively involved,together with her friends raising funds for clean water and collecting over 100 toys to be donated to a shelter in time for the winter holidays.

We teach our children not to be wasteful. There’s a reason Daddy is always telling you to shut off the lights.  We try not to let the water run incessantly.  We’re still working on some of us taking shorter showers…. 😉

When there are events in the community that give the kids a chance to make change, we encourage them to participate.  My youngest just participated in Jump Rope For Heart and raised money for the Heart & Stroke Foundation.

These are just a few examples of ways to get involved and to start to develop that sense of social responsibility.

Through my work with the #PGmom program, I learned of the P&G Children’s Clean Safe Drinking Water Fund and I think it is INCREDIBLE. Furthermore, the materials provided on the webiste give fabulous suggestions of the type of events kids can organize with their schools or with their families.  It’s phenomenal.

Have you seen the P&G Clean Water packets?

They’re quite miraculous (in my humble opinion):

One packet added to 10 litters of filthy contaminated water, stirred & strained will yield completely clean, potable water after 30 minutes.

Watch the video – it’s only 41 seconds 🙂

Wish you could do something to get as many packets as possible to those who need them??? That’s how I felt when I saw this video. Visit this link to find out how you can help, and empower your kids to help, too!  Like I said, the guidance on how to organize an event etc. is just phenomenal.

As a #PGmom, I am also happy to invite your family to participate in the CLEAN WATER FAMILY KINDNESS CHALLENGE GIVEAWAY by planning an act of kindness this week!

One lucky reader will win a P&G Prize pack (valued at approximately $95) consisting of:

  • Swiffer Sweep & Trap Starter Kit

  • Tide Pods Spring Meadow
  • Dawn Ultra Original Scent with Active Suds Dishwashing Liquid
