Kids of Today

Are amazing! Not only are they more technologically savvy than we could probably ever dream of being, but they've got this whole Communicative Inclusive sense of Community down pat!

Up here in Queensland, down on the Gold Coast, are two kids - Hannah and Luke - who are working with the power of the web (and thanks to a little creativity from a Canadian man) to help out a really great charity - Youngcare.

Their idea? Trade-up their beloved pet rock, Oscar, for a special car to be donated to Youngcare. Their inspiration came from someone who cleverly traded up to benefit himself (and probably starting a economic revolution). They've decided to give it a go in a more selfless manner.

Already they've been featured in the national media. Already companies are lining up to support them (a little insider birdy told me a Wallabies sponsor wants to trade a signed jersey).

I'm so inspired! Hope that you are, too!
