Stephanie, Maddie and Sarah had an idea. They were going to make custom bookmarkers, sell them and give the proceeds to Manna on Main Street. After successfully marketing and making a variety of bookmarks, they wound up with $50. A pretty nice result.
But then, the multiplication factor kicked in. One of the parents decided to match their contribution. Then an uncle said he would do the same. After that, a local business promised to match what they raised. In the end, the girls were able to donate $250. This proved to be a very valuable lesson for them - they learned that by doing something small, but with great care, they can help inspire others to do good . It is instructive for us as well...
