There is no better way to build strong bonds within the family, and teach kids about the values of giving, than to have a family volunteering session.

Our Family is interested in preserving the constitution. We saw no such category to vote on here.
Any one have Ideas for such a project?
#1 We had spent some time
We had spent some time at a foster home helping kids learn to read, and it was a rewarding experience to say the least. On top of the satisfaction we felt from the meaningful work, we definitely became more bonded as a family as we now have more shared experiences.
