Homeschooler Helps Animals in Need
Thursday, May 31st, 2007By Mimi Rothschild
Andy Jones could have asked for anything for his 13th birthday. Most 13 year old boys I know would’ve asked for a bike, a video game, a gadget of some kind–but not Andy Jones. Instead, the homeschool student from North Carolina gave up receiving birthday gifts to help animals in need.
Andy Jones asked his friends and family to give him pet food to help homeless pets at the Blue Ridge Humane Society. Jones felt bad that those animals don’t have a home so he decided to help them out. Jones also works with goats at the Carl Sandburg National Historic Site.
Homeschoolers all across the nation should be proud of Jones and his commendable actions towards helping animals in need. What sort of projects are you and your homeschooling family taking on to help others in need? We’d love to hear about it. The summer is a great time to plan a project with your homeschooling family to help your neighbors, church, or even total strangers!
