Two Bird with One Stone

My daughter and I were walking through Toys-R-Us the other day and came across something I think worth sharing.

Nori wanted to show me the "coolest" doll that they had. "Yawn," I though. Actually, I was impressed (yes, with a doll). This doll was clearly high quality and the price was very reasonable. Then to quote Nori, "Even the accessories are easy and fun to pretend with."

Then I noticed another box in the top corner.

"A portion of the purchase price goes to World Vision to help children world wide"

If you're buying a doll this year, you'll likely spend this much or more and like I said, they're the "coolest" doll around - according to a highly credible 12-year.

A couple blurbs from the very pink website:

"It’s an undeniable fact that girls in many countries struggle against a lack of education, medical care, decent housing, and clean water and food. But when these basic needs are met, those girls achieve amazing things for themselves and their families. Sometimes, all they need is a little help."

“The website was created to let girls realize that... , no matter how young, [they have] the power to change the world—one heart at a time, ... the website [consists] of immersive games and activities, and stories of both the dolls and real girls who will hopefully serve as an inspiration to others.”

"Right now, there are 6 Hearts For Hearts Girls dolls: Lilian (Belarus), Rahel (Ethiopia), Nahji (India), Tipi (Laos), Consuelo (Mexico), and Dell (United States). Each of them has an important story to tell about life in her country, inspired by real girls who are strong, smart, courageous, and determined to rise above challenging circumstances. When you buy a doll, Hearts For Hearts Girls donates part of the purchase price through our charitable partner, World Vision, to programs that support girls in that country."
