After school on Monday a group of Scarborough girls and boys gathered at the home of Sage Hicks-Fredenburg, 9 (almost 10), as they have for the past three weeks making crafts such as pot holders and Perler Bead refrigerator magnets. It’s the kind of activity kids often start enthusiastically but soon lose interest in when faced with the limitless other enticements competing for their attention. But what sustains this group’s attention in their hobby isn’t so much making the crafts as what they do with them once they are done. “I saw a TV show and saw children who didn’t really have a lot of food and I wanted to make it better for them,” Sage said. The show was an appeal for donations to the charity “Feed the Children,” which promises that a $20 donation can provide up to 1,000 meals for needy children in the poorest corners of the earth. In order to raise the money, Sage and her friends have been making the crafts which they give away in return for a donation that they send on to the charity. The crafts are available at First Stop convenience story located at 85 County Road in western Scarborough. Those interested in contributing to this cause dreamed up “by kids, for kids,” are invited to leave a donation in the amount of their choosing and walk away with the handmade craft of their choice. The effort is already paying off as the group has already made its first $20 donation and is now focused on raising $500 by Christmas that will be used to buy shoes for the impoverished children.  By Kids, For Kids artisans are Sarah Rinaldi, 10, Ledger Hicks-Fredenburg, 5, Willow Hicks-Frendenburg, 6, Zoie Campbell, 8, Sage, Madison Damon, 9, Jessica Rinaldi, 6, Glade Hicks-Fredenburg, 8, and Chase Damon, 11.
