She wants to be the kind of person who helps other children. She already had a big impact.
Ellette chose Action Against Hunger Canada to be the recipient of half the funds raised at her ECHOage party. In her words:
“It makes me really sad that some kids don’t have any food and I really wanted to help them. All kids should have good, healthy food.”

JASPER SUPPORTED RIGHT TO PLAY CANADA
Jasper cares. He cares about kids who live all over the world and want to play. He chose Right To Play Canada and we’d like to share his reasons with you. In his own words:
“I chose Right To Play Canada because my birthday is near the olympics and my dad told me that they do a lot of stuff with and for the olympics for kids who can’t normally play.”
A 3 year old girl with the wisdom of ages
Posted: February 13, 2018 Filed under: Birthday Gifts, Charity, Charity birthday party, ECHOage Heroes and Amazing Birthday Ideas, Gifts, the pine project Leave a commentGemma is 3 years old. She chose The p.i.n.e. project for her ECHOage charity and she got a trampoline.
The p.i.n.e. project’s mission is to build healthy communities deeply connected to the natural environment.
To achieve this they deliver programs focused on building relationships between self, others, and the environment. Using music, drama, storytelling, naturalist studies, stewardship, survival skills, outdoor adventures, intergenerational learning, games, and play they weave a “culture of nature connection”. This empowers their mantra: be more, need less.
Sweet Gemma chose this amazing cause. In her words:
“I chose this charity because the pine project lets kids be in nature.”
Gemma is our hero. She’s a hero today, and she’s a hero for our future. Nature is where kids should be. This 3 year old knows.

Mario Chose Wisely

We meet a lot of those kids.
Mario is that child. This 3 year old boy (yes, he’s 3, and cares about others) chose Because I Am A Girl as his ECHOage charity. Why? Mario say: “Because all humans need to have the same rights.” Yes, he’s only 3. We swear. ECHOage is a labour of love in more ways than one…
Kids Can Do So Much More Than Adults Think.
Our Amazing Hero Mario
