Quotes about child
children memories fall
The average person's short-term memory can hold only five to seven bits of data at any one moment. If you put more items in, others fall out.

Some of us take our children to the supermarket in the hope they will remember why we are there. Jennifer James

children nice inspiration
Public charities, foodbanks and church pantries are doing more than ever before, but they can't keep up with the need. We can never end hunger only through the wonderful work of local charities.

We don't protect our national security through charity, and we shouldn't protect our families and children that way either.
