Healthy Kids Healthy World
Healthy Kids Healthy World is a new committee designed to inspire the
community to learn about - and get involved with- issues that impact our
children’s health and environment. This year the committee will focus on a
variety of fun activities that help children understand the interdependence
between their health and well-being, and their environment, community and
planet. Our hope is to empower kids to make responsible choices, and
challenge them to think about ways that they can make a difference by
nurturing their generous spirit. Parents are encouraged to get involved
every step of the way. Visit our website at www.hkhw.org for
more information and for weekly entries on health and the environment.

healthy kids and a healthy world. Entries can include artwork, stories, fun
recipes or experiments to try at home, as well as, short homemade movies and
anything else you can think of. New entries will be added regularly. So keep
