Kids & Adults trying to do good in the world...

Hi & welcome to my blog. I'm Meghan & I live in the country in Central New York. I started "Animal Friends in Need" as a way to help out critters of all shapes and sizes around the world. I figure since we're humans & we should lead by example :-)

My first step was to have my birthday party with friends and family and instead of asking for presents... I asked for donations & goodies for our local Humane Society (Rome Humane Society in Rome, NY).

Our friends at www.Romanelli.com created a logo for me. I'm sharing my ideas and our logo so now other kids around the world can to do their own Animal Friends in Need project in their hometown.

Be kind and pay it forward, Meghan.
