The sweet sounds and smells of summer may seem
far away, but a group called The Fresh Air Fund
is working hard to make those sounds and smells a reality for
children who may not otherwise experience them. For 126 years,
The Fresh Air Fund has been working with families to provide
vacations for inner-city children, a time free from "double-locked
doors and crowded apartments." TheLightKeeper.com is privileged
to bring this organization to your attention, and we urge everyone
to help out in any way they can. Help a child feel the grass
on their feet instead of hard asphalt, to play tag in the twilight,
to splash in a creek instead of a fire hydrant flow - to experience
summer in a way they never have before!
