Gives Children a Chance
For a Better Tomorrow

After nine wonderful years of providing summer recreation at no charge for youth in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area, Timber Trails Children's Project is taking a new direction.

Kids Country for Good was created to encourage young people to learn more about world hunger, fair trade and the significant impact that they can make - even as kids - to support fair trade and help end hunger for good.

Outstanding educational materials to teach about these challenging issues are currently available for free as online interactive learning programs and also in printable pdf format. At kidscountryforgood.com, you will find links to these educational materials including: fair trade curriculum for young people (k-12), lesson plans, activities, handouts and videos:

The Action Center to End World Hunger with Tina Fey

Child at Heart - Teens in Zimbabwe Help Each Other Manage Difficult Situations

In addition you will find information on a positive fundraising program that helps raise funds to benefit your school, church or class project while also supporting fair wages, safe working conditions, and basic human rights for all people.

More than 850 million people in the world suffer from hunger, which is more than all of the people in the United States, Canada, and Europe combined.

Secure, tax-deductible donations can be made online at kidscountryforgood.com. To them, your contribution of a dime or a dollar means the difference between a nourishing meal and another long hungry day. Even the smallest donation can help.

Please visit www.kidscountryforgood.com and join us to help end world hunger!

"I congratulate Timber Trails Children's Project for making the Valley's neediest children a priority. Away from the heat, noise and concrete of the city, this summer camp provides Phoenix children with the chance to expand their view of the world and, subsequently, of themselves. The value of spending time in the wilderness is essential to enriching our children's lives. It offers new perspective, encouragement, and the chance to see a different, more positive side of life. All of us working together will help find them the opportunities they need to be successful in their lives. I urge all Arizonans to support this vital project."

"Of all the programs I have been involved with in 32 years of public education, most pale in comparison to the Timber Trails experience. I have seen first hand countless inner-city youth change their life around based on this program. It is far, far more than a wilderness backpacking experience but a program which teaches self-esteem, responsibility, leadership, problem solving and decision making, goal setting, literacy, team work, cooperation and maybe most importantly the ability to appreciate different cultures and celebrate diversity."
