Para.2 Age is no barrier to making good use of

In contrast to these big spenders, there are also teens that prove age is no barrier to making good use of money. With the help of her grandmother, eight-year-old Khloe Thompson started making “Kare Bags” for the homeless in her district. Inside the bags are necessities such as toothpaste, soap and socks, bought first with her pocket money and then through crowd funding. These items helped to make the lives of poor and homeless people a little bit easier. On receiving a Kare Bag, one woman said, “You make me feel like a human being.”

What does growing up mean to you
Instead of being the selfish teenager I used to be, I have begun to feel more aware of other people and to develop a stronger sense of social responsibility.
——Unit1 Growing up
The wider aim of the jars is to encourage teenagers to think more objectively about money and the things that it can do, so that they grow up understanding, if you like, the value of the valuable.
