The Kids Are Home! Check Out These Free Activity Ideas

Friday December 17, 2004
If you have kids at home, you KNOW the feeling. Holiday breaks from school mean two things: 1) Yea! The kids are home for about two weeks! or 2) Oh no! The kids are home for about two weeks! So, whether your reaction is the first or the second (usually they are a combination of both), check out some FREE activities that parents can do with their kids over the holidays!

Dear Sir/Madam,

REF : Training materials – free resources for schools and “The Kids Are Home” activity books for students

I am writing to inquire about receiving, possibly free, multiple copies of the items as teaching materials advertised on your website and in your publications list for distribution to homeschool students, young mums and primary school kids. Can you help get me started ? I would be happy to promote the excellent work of your organisation and its products, highlighting the substantial contribution of your company to health and baby care and to education and would be pleased to receive as many items as possible to the following postal addresses :

14 Barnes Avenue
Fearnhead
Warrington
Cheshire
WA2 0BN

and also, if possible, to a charitable organisation I support

Sister Consilia, Sister of the Cross
Bamunigam Health Centre
Khandamal De
Orissa
India
762021

We are very low on resources – developing a professional resource library, teaching english, training traditional birth attendants, and setting up a hospital and a school. I am confident of the legitimacy of this project which supports one of Britain’s largest aid programmes – a thank you for the Gorkha services. Despite the jihad, perhaps a generous donation, financial or otherwise, from your company may be like an act of peace. We recently managed to get these kind, remarkable ladies a computer – some of your fantastic freebies or whatever would compliment these fundraising efforts, I dare say. I look forward to hearing from you and would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance.

Yours faithfully,

Jacqueline Richards
