Evan for Life

Evan and his Water for Life project.

One of our heroes is Evan Frank.  He is an 8-year-old boy who has already dug his first well in South Africa.  We had the honor of meeting him at the Valley Mall in Hagerstown, MD this past weekend for the Pillars of the Community Day.  He worked tirelessly to garner new donations for his second well.  He is very well spoken about the condition, and as you can see he has a lot of visuals.  He, along with the other kids on the web site, is a constant reminder of how powerful kids can really be.

MaryMargaret Presents

MaryMargaret and the Camp Kids

MaryMargaret gave a presentation this morning in front of a number of kids that signed up for “Camp Make a Difference” in Columbia, MD.  Normally her dad speaks and she takes over a slide or two. This time she did the entire presentation herself.  The kids were extremely receptive and excited about it.  We hope to be featuring them in the near future.

KAH Wins PitchTV Contest

In April of 2009 we entered a contest sponsored by Richard Branson, owner of some 200 companies including Virgin Atlantic Airlines.  We were to submit a 2 minute video pitch of what we do – the 10 best pitches would be featured on Richard Branson’s blog site, 5 of which would be chosen by the blog readers to be featured in his first Pitch TV show.  The reason we entered was simply to thank Mr. Branson for being our inspiration for starting the Kids Are Heroes project.  I never really thought I would appear on his web site let alone win.

Not only did we win, but we are featured first in his premiere PitchTV show. This show is part of the onboard entertainment for all Virgin Atlantic flights in the month of June.  So if you are flying Virgin Atlantic this month, check us out. If not, that’s OK, you can still watch the show here.
