The power of friendship and chocolate!

On the subject of philanthropy...

In Unit 3, we are studying non-profit organizations and philanthropy.  Here is a beautiful story of a young boy who is raising money for his very sick friend so a cure can be found for his disease. Dylan Siegel, 7, wrote a book called "The Chocolate Bar Book" - profit from the sales go to research that will hopefully lead to healing his friend, Jonah.
