I have four wonderful grandchildren. Lachlan lives on the island with his parents Amy & David. Zoe, Eakin, & Eliza live in Asheville, NC with their parents Stefen & Snee. Amy and Stefen both grew up on Ocracoke.
Stefen just sent me a newspaper article about Eakin, who is in the seventh grade, and his campaign to collect and send soccer balls and equipment to children in Haiti. It is a great story that makes a grandparent proud. I just had to share it with our readers. You can read the story by clicking here or on the photo of Eakin, below:
If you would like to donate equipment or money please follow this link: http://www.fondaps.com/Fondaps/Bienvenue___Welcome.html, then click on "Donate and Contact." It would be nice to mention Eakin's name if you make a donation. Thanks!
Our latest Ocracoke Newsletter is the story of slavery on Ocracoke. You can read it here: http://www.villagecraftsmen.com/news102111.htm.

ReplyDeleteBragging rights are at the top of the short list of perks to growing old--so go ahead indulge. Not only is it our right to brag about our grandkids...it's our sworn duty.
ReplyDeleteAnother proud grandparent. Isn't it wonderful to know the grandchildren are being raised the right way.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Thanks for sharing.
