Ed Holland is teaching his young grandsons the value of pitching in to help the community.He has started a project he calls “One Mile at a Time” with his three grandsons. For the last nine weeks, they’ve been heading out on Tuesdays to collect litter and trash along country roads in the Overland Park area.
It’s a way for the kids to lend a hand during the pandemic and practice safe social distancing. It’s hard work - sticky, stinky, and sometimes full of ants - but the boys are up for the challenge. Holland pays them $6 each day, but $3 goes to their savings and the other $3 goes to a charity of their choice. The kids hope to have $100 to donate to their causes by the end of the summer.
“They’re learning to give back and the value of a dollar,” the grandpa explains, “And they’re cleaning up the environment and doing something nice for other people that aren’t advantaged as we are.” To read the rest of the story, click the image of the trash being picked up, below ↓
