Description: Take a journey with Elliot's dollar bill and learn how it makes a difference! Elliot's class is collecting money to help schoolchildren in Ecuador. Elliot is wiling to give, but he doesn't understand how his one dollar will help or how it gets to Ecuador. Elliot learns more than he expected, watching his dollar travel to South America. He learns about banking, non-profit organizations, and geography. The most important thing he learns is that his charitable effort really does reach people in need, they appreciate his generosity, and they're a lot like him.
Notes: Ages 4-10.
