Kids Are Heroes is an organization that was started by my then 9-year-old daughter MaryMargaret.  It empowers children to become involved in philanthropy at an early age giving them important life lessons that will enhance their development. I created this directory to provide a better way for our readers (that’s you!) to discover articles, both new and old, that might be of interest.  Click on the images above for other categories.
