When you give, you gain so much in return. And Educational First Steps (EFS)is just one of the ways I give to help others help themselves to ultimately help even more people--kids in this case. FOX 4 is a proud sponsor.

Checkout this video clip I've posted of the MAVS' Devin Harris, some of the EFS kids and me promoting "HEARTS FOR SMARTS"--an EFS fundraiser.


Right now EFS is in the middle of "HEARTS FOR SMARTS"--one of our biggest fundraiser. And here's how you could help out.
The kids created Valentine's Day cards and t-shirts which are now on sale at area Tom Thumb Supermarkets. You can also donate online at www.educationalfirststeps.org. 100% of the proceeds fund our 2008 expansion program. And with your support we hope to provide vital services for another 29 centers by 2008 to help more than 3,500 at-risk children.

Educational First Steps is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality and availability of early childhood education for disadvantaged Dallas area children between the ages of birth to five. We are an association of professionals and volunteers bound together by a commitment to provide for these children the possibility of a future they would otherwise be denied.

You can see some pics in my blog album of some of the kids and caregivers at AISHA'S Learning Center. EFS helps 400 directors and teachers in its 51 centers through training, weekly onsite mentoring and consulting and scholarships toward courses in child development and education.
learning centers.

I invite you to either reach out to help someone else or if you are already doing so...continue. We all can be humanitarians.
