The "Pay it Forward" Social Movement
"Pay it Forward" is not only a book of fiction written by Catherine Ryan Hyde that was made into a movie starring Helen Hunt, Kevin Spacey and Haley Joel Osment, but it is also in an incredible real-life social movement - when a stranger or someone that you hardly know does something nice for you, "Pay it Forward" by performing three acts of kindness towards other people.
Forward Sharing Ltd. Wants to "Change the World"
Rather than performing three acts of kindness all at once, we advocate to start changing the world with just one act at a time! Many children are already sharing and giving whatever they can to help others in need as well as promoting environmental protection. At Forward Sharing Ltd. we want to "Change the World" by encouraging three concepts; the gift of giving, environmental awareness and the joy of reading. Similar to the Pay it Forward model, we are hoping to teach all children to be a generation that inspires compassion, caring and sharing and at the same time protects and preserves our global community and environment.
Do kids really appreciate and treasure many of the toys and trinkets they've received for their birthday?
Some receive so many toys and games of no interest to that particular child and as a result many of them
end up in the closet to collect dust, or get broken and thrown away. Teaching your children to help others
inspires them to feel good about themselves and instills pride and genuine happiness. Our "Forward
Sharing" Birthday Kit provides the means to inspire, in our children, the gift of giving, one birthday at a
time, as well as encouraging them to be mindful of our environment.
Our products can either be reused and/or are made using either recycled, bio-degradable or post consumer
materials to the best of our ability.
Your children will enjoy reading the inspirational story of giving; "Shelby's Special Birthday!" and can add
their own special effects by colouring various illustrations in the book.
We provide:
10 copies of the inspirational story "Shelby's Special Birthday" - to be included in each of the "Double
DipTM" reusable bags along with party invitations. The intended party guest can then share with their
family, the inspiration and purpose of the birthday party theme,
10 "Double DipTM" reusable bags - in which to deliver party invitations and colouring story book. Guests
bring their donations to the party and then take home goodies and party favours in the bag. Once at home,
they can reuse the bags again and again to carry books, toys, shoes, snacks...etc.
10 Party invitations - explaining the charity of choice by the birthday child and how you may contribute to
this very worthy cause.
Information letter - explaining:
- How the Birthday Kit can be used,

- The Forward Sharing website www.inspireyourchildren.com which lists additional party craft

AND...all of this comes in a gift box that can be reused again and again as a gift box, or to store stationery,
books, recipes, crafts, etc...whatever you desire.
