Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. Yesterday, EKB News brought you the story of Highland Elementary student Emily Farther, who's using her community problem solving project to encourage children on welfare to not become adults who have to rely on welfare. Today we meet the rest of Emily's community problem solving group, whose project is geared toward helping foster children. So we wanted to help foster children across the state of Kentucky. So we decided to fill backpacks with things that foster children would need in their transition into a new home, such as stuffed animals, hygiene products, toys, blankets, everyday accessories. The students say they get a great feeling from being able to help others. It just brings me joy to know that honestly I have just when we hear about these kids not having anything, it makes me feel like so bad inside for not appreciating probably a lot of the stuff that I have. And I just want these kids to feel the joy and the happiness that we all have in since we're all taken care of. Although the students learn valuable lessons in leadership and financing by participating in the project, they also learn something that can't be taught from a book. I know one of the kids said something that most impressed me. He said, Miss Hall, he said it's not about winning or losing. It started out as a competition for them. He said it's not about winning and losing anymore. It's about just helping people. I said, you know, that's right. And when it comes to that point within them, I think that's when we've actually made an impact. The students have raised over $5,000 to support their foster friends project.
