The Power of Half: One Family’s Decision to Stop Taking and Start Giving Back
It all started when 14-year old Hannah Salwen’s family decided to sell their Atlanta mansion, downsize to a house half its size, and give half of their profits to a worthy charity. This decision would transport the family across the globe and well out of its comfort zone. Salwens’ journey would bring them closer as a family, and along the way they would inspire so many others wrestling with the same questions: Do I give enough? How much is enough? How can I make an impact in the world?

The notion that charity begins at home has never been easier to teach children than with this enchanting gift set based on the Jewish tradition of tzadakah, in which children save coins in banks for the less fortunate. Added inspiration for contributing to worthy causes comes from Emmy Award-winning television personality Mister Rogers, whose peaceful “neighborhood” has been a comforting presence in millions of homes for more than 25 years. In the book that accompanies The Giving Box, Mister Rogers teaches lessons of generosity and charity through heartwarming fictional stories set in countries around the world.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vcex_spacing][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”6212″ onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” img_link=”” link=”http://www.msgen.com/assembled/money_savvy_pig.html#.U157qf1cUwN”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]
