I like the quote by Bill Clinton in that "Everybody counts and everyone deserves a chance." After exploring the Children's Defense Fund website this week, I can now see why Marian Wright Edelman and Bill Clinton had simular views in helping ALL children with a good start. We teach children to work together, but we must model this first. What a great quote:)
