I work @ my local Boys & Girls Club and I can't tell you how awesome the kids are...No matter their economic situation or ethnic background, they are little shining lights.

I work in a primarily economically depressed vacation destination, and there are a lot of foster kids we work with as well. The love I receive from all of them on a daily basis is like a vitamin to me :love:
While there's always a degree of the "wild kingdom" of it all... especially with the kinders who are just learning how to be little humans, they are definitely just little lovers!
