Post Holiday Sales Make for Happy Shoppers, Retailers     ***A Child is Changing the Future of Less Fortunate

Estimates suggest that holiday sales are up almost nine percent above last year sales. A lot of these sales are contributed to post Christmas sales with thousands of bargain shoppers hitting the retailers doors for price slashes.

So far, post Christmas sales have accounted for fourteen percent, up from the ten percent for last year sales.

When we polled shoppers we are finding that a small percentage of sales are actually brick and mortar sales. Tonya Rogers said; "I've done most of my shopping online this year. I'm here to buy the sales items that I can't get online because they are already sold out."

That explains the booming sales at  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0976204509/qid=1135780385/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-5227893-8668837?s=books&v=glance&n=283155  Amazon.com.  It is reported that their sales have averaged 41 items sold per second. That's a record sales of more than 108 million products this year.

A Child Is Changing The Future of Less Fortunate

A nine year old is changing the future of children less fortunate around the world. Shayla Setzer, a nine year old from Cincinnati, Ohio has organized and founded Kid's for Kid's - a program developed to link proactive children with the heart and the desire to impact the lives of less fortunate children globally. Each child that participates in this program will be linked with a child of like age/gender so that they can personally and fruitfully communicate with and impact less fortunate children as they actively support the overall growth and development of the child and their future. As each member child watches the physical, emotional and Spiritual growth of the less fortunate child, the results are incomparable! They will watch each child learn to communicate through correspondence as their literacy and physical health increases from the education, warm meals, clean uniforms and medical needs met by each member child as they sponsor less fortunate children. Shayla 9 and her sister Faith 5, began this program when they donated a portion of their Christmas gifts to sponsor their adopted sisters in Haiti two years ago. Each week they eagerly donate a portion of their allowance (and extra gift money, etc.) to continue the support of their sisters in Haiti. They have developed close relationships, inner growth and inexpressible love as they watch these children grow. I pray that you too will support their passion to see this program grow globally!

Children, read Shayla's message about her role with Kids for Kids.
