Overview

What could he -- an ordinary boy -- do to help kids in Ecuador? Based on real events, and through an imaginary diary, Andrew shares his volunteer experiences as he joins his parents to make a difference to children in Ecuador. Along the way, Andrews discovers the courage to do what he has never done before. Collecting over 1,000 stuffed animals to give away to children. Waking at dawn for a cold shower. Distributing toothbrushes to kids who never had one before, and teaching them how to brush their teeth. Working with Zully, the Director at Causes for Change International. Andrew steps into his new role as a leader. While his dad serves as the dentist; and his mom entertains as the music teacher, Andrew grows to understand how much his actions matter. With Fuzzy Bear at his side, Andrew learns the greatest lessons come in giving. Author Lynn Sanders tells a uniquely personal story, vibrantly illustrated by Sergio Drumond, to portray the joy of volunteering that builds compassion, unity and self-esteem for a lifetime. #Children'sExploreLatinAmerica #Children'sInspirational #Volunteering #Makingadifference #Nonprofitstories #Children'sDiversity&Multicultural #Self-esteem&self-respect #Children'sstories #Diary #Children'sPersonalHygiene #Children'sNativeAmerican&SouthAmericanStories
