One thing that was said was \"I like that I can help other students without them know I did.\" I personally think that is so powerful.

My kind kids club was responsible for separating, packaging and preparing each kit. Financially we discussed approximately how much each kit cost to make as well as how much the items cost so that we can maintain the proper upkeep of the kits. Members of the kind kids club will be responsible for the upkeep of the kits and ensuring that they are properly stocked at all times. \r\n\r\nBefore we switched to the kits we had stations in each of the back building bathrooms.
