(NAPSI)-When 17-year-old Sarah Rosenberg died in an auto accident on the island of Hawaii in December 2004, it touched the lives of many children.
Sarah was a role model, teacher and mentor to smaller kids. She was active in her 4-H club and helped kindergartners with activities to get to know one another while having fun at the same time. Sarah, who had planned to become a teacher, made everyone feel special.
Sarah's inspiration continues today. The Sweethearts 4-H Club of Kona, Hawaii, to which she belonged, is selling wristbands and car magnets in honor of their friend's favorite 4-H program, Kindergartners Are Most Precious (KAMP).
It's a program that shows kids the importance of learning and how to overcome their fears of attending kindergarten and take those important first steps into school.
Sarah set such an example to her 4-H friends, and when they lost her, they were inspired to carry on her work. They reached out and made a difference in their community, not only by participating in her KAMP program but by creating, wearing and selling special "Make A Difference For Sarah" wristbands and car magnets.
They hope the wristbands and car magnets will be a reminder to motorists to drive safely on the island's narrow roads.
"Sarah was such a special and unique person, one of those rare people whom you would meet probably once or twice in a lifetime," said Erin Kojima, a close friend of Sarah's. "We knew we had to keep her spirit going."
Help make a difference through the 4-H programs Sarah loved and believed in. Learn how to get a wristband or car magnet and join the community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship and life skills at www.4husa.org.
