"It's really fun to have Pay it Forward birthdays because you are helping other people and animals to survive. Because they don't have food, it would be very helpful to all the people and animals that you donate to."
Taylor, 9 years old
"It's nice to give to people things that are helpful for them."
Rhegan, 7 years old
"I like helping families and kids because I am happy, I know I can make a big difference. I am glad and excited that I do this. It makes me feel good all in my body and on the inside. Doing this is fun, to help other people. I love meeting other people and knowing about them and knowing what is the matter. I started Pay It Forward birthdays and Christmases when I was turning seven years old. I will keep on doing them for as long as I can."
Cayley, 9 years old
"What a wonderful thing "Pay It Forward Parties" are, to teach our children the value of thinking of others and help them understand that to donate all of their gifts from their own parties makes such a difference to someone else's life (possibly another child or family who is less fortunate). Parents and children that host these parties are helping to make the world a much better place!"
Lynn Attree, Calgary, Alberta - Attended a Pay It Forward Party.
"It is so refreshing to attend a "Pay It Forward" birthday. I think it is a wonderful way for my children to see that it is just as much fun to give as it is to recieve and parties are not all about presents, it's about having fun with friends and loved ones. I find that my children put so much more thought into a gift, knowing that it will truly make a difference for someone special. Because of one of the "Pay It Forward" birthdays we attended, my daughter on her own account wanted to do the same as her friend and raise money for children in Africa. Childern DO learn by example....."
Gillian, Mother of 3.
