Since Halloween is quickly approaching and the children are getting excited about their costumes, parties and candy. I thought it might be fun to share a special Halloween idea this year.

Unicef, has been Trick or Treating to help children all over the world for over 60 years. UNICEF (the United Nations Children’s Fund) is a global organization that saves kids’ lives in over 150 countries by providing clean water, nutrition, medicines, education and aid in emergencies.

They are asking families to go to their website and there is a variety of fun activities from sending in photos for a virtual costume party, having a party that helps others or trick or treating for a cause.

After all, while candy is sweet, showing our children how to give makes life even sweeter. Happy Halloween!
