*Greetings CKI Sub-region F!*
One great thing about the Kiwanis Family experience is the unique
opportunity to get to learn, grow, and serve with different kinds of
individuals from all different age ranges, cultures, and more. See below for
information regarding Aktion Club and one of their signature projects called
Sleeping Children Around the World. It is a great project for your club to
consider when planning your Fall Projects and Kiwanis Family Relations
activities.

*About Sleeping Children Around the World:*
Sleeping Children Around the World was founded in 1970 by the late Murray
Dryden and his wife, Margaret. Murray's hobby of photographing sleeping
children (his own and those of friends) gave rise to the idea of a
retirement project. He and Margaret decided to provide bed kits to 50
children in India in 1970. The concept grew and eventually became the focus
of their lives. Though many children in developed countries have needs,
SCAW's mandate is to assist children in developing countries.
*What's in a bed kit?*
Each US$30 donation provides a bed kit that includes:
‧ Mat or mattress
‧ Pillow
‧ Sheet
‧ Blanket
‧ Mosquito net (if applicable)
‧ Clothes outfit
‧ Towel
‧ School supplies
