Charitable Organizations - Views From the Ville

I participated in a campaign to raise awareness of the Save the Children partnership with Johnson’s Baby CARES program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for JOHNSON’s Baby. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

This past weekend was Mother’s Day and I know many of us spent the day sharing words of love and thanks with our mothers, grandmothers, and those who have acted as a mother in our lives.

So they polled the kids to find out what elements they would like to have in a new playground.
