[quote=Anonymous]This is very very common in my area. There are a ton of high school (and sometimes middle school) kids running small charity projects. The parents then nominate their children for any and every local and national award to get them recognition for their little projects. Then the parents send an announcement to the local paper about how their child won honorable mention for some award. The goal is transparent, but FWIW I believe that helping is helping regardless of the motive. I will gladly donate to these causes if I think it's helpful to the community. Examples of projects: - Organizing a small food pantry - Organizing hot meals for the needy (very popular in Sikh Indian groups who are known for feeding the poor) - Sewing cloth masks for the teachers and first responders - One family I know sends their teenager to China each summer to teach English and then sends an announcement about it to the local paper.[/quote]
