One of the things that really matters to me is social justice, and making a the world a better place for all to enjoy! I used to be part of a local TEAR group and enjoyed learning about & raising awareness of various issues, but ended up deciding that my time would be better spent doing it with my kids rather than off on my own. I really want to share my passion for this with them, and hope that they'll also choose a life of compassion and advocacy for the poor and disadvantaged.
I figured they'd enjoy it more and have a bigger impact (and more fun!) if they banded with some other kids to do stuff, so our "World Changers" group was formed! It's a small group of home educating families, with parents whose christian faith inspires their passion to help the poor. Our aim is to get together once a month or so to learn about an issue, maybe do some simulation games, and partner with the kids as they brainstorm ideas about what we can do to make a difference!

Miss M enjoyed using LOTS of lollies to decorate hers! :)   Things got a bit silly after awhile! :) |
The kids had a lot of fun running their stall at the park. For the younger kids it was like playing shops! Some of the more outgoing kids enjoyed going around to people they didn't know and trying to get them to come and "buy" a cupcake for a donation to the RSPCA.
Donations to the RSPCA Cupcake Day can be made until 3rd October 2010, so if you'd like to make a donation, go to
And they were delicious too :)
