Fresh Air Fund: Give smile to children
I have received an email from Fresh air fund to write a post about there organization and there cause .
Fresh Air Fund is an independent, not-for-profit agency that provides free summer vacations to New York City children from low-income communities.
Nearly 10,000 New York City children benefit from this fund.
Since 1877 more than 1.7 million children benefited from this fund.

This Fund has received donations from Carnegie Corporation.

This concept of vacation and holiday, a concept of fund has been started by
The Reverend Willard Parsons, minister of a small rural parish in Sherman, Pennsylvania in the year 1877.
Since then this fund is helping more and more New York City boys and girls between ages
Six to eighteen.



In 2008, close to 5,000 children visited volunteer host families in suburbs and small town communities across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada. 3,000 children also attended five Fresh Air camps on a 2,300-acre site in Fishkill, New York. The Fund’s year-round camping program serves an additional 2,000 young people each year.
The good thing about this programme is that host families are not paid, they do it willingly.

In this period of recession, still you want to help someone I will say just help kids
For fun, food and education.
Once a childhood is lost how much money you spend it will not come back
So make a child smile, give a child smile.
