Dear friends,

news came down the wire to me today about a dear little friend of mine in England who just biked 15 kilometers to raise money for victims of the current crisis in Pakistan.

5 year old Daniel Hasan of London, UK, came up with the idea after seeing footage on television of families effected by the flood. He set his concern for their lives into action and has now raised over £1,100.00, proving that age has no bearing on helping the lives of others.  Let’s all help him get up to at least £5,000.00!

“On TV I saw a boy crying in Pakistan. He was 5 like me. His sister died because she caught germs from the water. She was 2, like my sister. I don’t want more children to die. My mum and dad said I can ride my bike to help them. So I want to ride it very, very, very, very far because I want to help them a lot.”

~ Daniel Hasan, 5 years old

Great job Daniel!! May we all be inspired by your example! If you ever get any more ideas like this ~ just let us all know how we can help.

I was told that Daniel was singing lyrics from my “Everythingsong” as he peddled “I’m gonna take my bicycle and ride out to a field…” ~ making me proud to know that I shared the journey with him in some way.

The Enter Into Peace Arts Initiative and Silk Route Media have also made a donation toward the cause and urge others to visit Daniel’s website and do the same.
