A Noble Child Remembered

 

When tragedy strikes, so often people reference doing what the stricken person or family would have wished.

 

After watching/listening to Christina's parents on CNN, it is clear their wish is that the country remember this amazing child and all that she did and represented for a better world.  So often it is difficult, if not impossible, to explain to a child (as it was to help her brother understand what had just happened), and the realities of what can be so harsh a world could not be more underscored when a child comes into the world on a day when the country suffers such a far-reaching terrorist attack.

We note that "Christina was already serving and helping others. She already held elected office at age nine, serving on the student council of the Mesa Verde Elementary School. She worked for a charity that helped other children, Kids Helping Kids."

There is a Christina Taylor Green Memorial Fund set up in her memory with contact information as follows:

Community Foundation for Southern Arizona at www.cfsoaz.org

Mailing Address:  PO Box 65000, Tucson, AZ 85728-5000

Phone: (520) 545-0313.

There may be ways that the potential and memory of such a child can become a symbol of the fact that the world needs to become one in which Christina would be proud to be the great citizen towards which she was headed.

Thus becoming a Dual Global Citizen (DGC) is just one idea but perhaps could, with her parents' consent, DGC could be changed to "Christina Green Dual Global Citizen (CGDGC)" as a way to have what we learn from knowing more about this golden child become a model for others to become aware - anywhere in the world.

Since Christina was involved with "Kids Helping Kids," perhaps that organization can benefit from ways ABC4All assists nonprofits/NGOs throughout the world.  The Child Division of ABC4All can also have an area dedicated to her memory and as an instructive component to what we learn from what one child can do in the world. 

Through ABC4All Global Mentoring TEAM Project, there are ABC4All Mentors in 109 countries to date.

Whatever the next steps may be, this family needs and deserves all the support our country and the world can muster, and this is consistent with the goal of ABC4All to MAXIMIZE support for worthwhile causes.
