How to Help the Children of Japan
Friday, 01 April 2011

ryanbubnis_poster.jpgline.jpgline.jpgAs mothers, the first thing we often think about when hearing of disasters like the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan is, frankly, our own children.  We’re thankful when they’re safe and sound with us.  Our thoughts then move on to the children involved, and we may feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to help.

There are loads of organizations who are working specifically to help Japan’s youngest population.  Here are some places to get started:

  • Save the Children is currently organizing worldwide resources to meet the needs of children and their families affected by the earthquake and tsunami.
  • UNICEF is providing assistance with maternal and child health, education and psychosocial support
  • Students Rebuild offers a way for older children to be directly involved: for each origami paper crane sent to them, $2 will be donated to earthquake response.
  • K.I.D.S. accepts financial donations as well as donations of essential supplies like diapers and clothing.  Contact them for information on setting up your own supplies drive through your school or other group.
And of course, any organization helping to fix infrastructure or assisting with general needs will also ultimately help Japan’s children as well.

This Weekend: Montreal Parents and Kids Fair!
Friday, 01 April 2011

If you’re still unsure of your plans for this weekend, consider making a trip to the Montreal Parents and Kids Fair.  Geared towards families with children aged 0-6, the fair offers plenty for both parents and kids alike.

Parents will learn about resources ranging from new baby products to local health services.  Kids can play on a playground and, as I’m sure my own children would love to do, dig in what as touted to be the “biggest sandbox in the world.”

All facilities are family-friendly, and there is a full-service food court where you can take a break to feed those hungry kiddies. (Admisson is free for kids 12 years and under)
