Recently, Clínica Verde received a check for $260 from Jack, Maddie and James Huber. The Huber kids are paid allowance for their chores with the following guidelines: 25% of their earnings goes into their savings accounts; 25% goes to a charity of their choice; and 50% is theirs for spending money. Twice the Huber kids have chosen Clínica Verde as their charity of choice. Here, Maddie (6th grade) and Jack (8th grade) talk about this choice.

Clínica Verde: How do you feel about this program? How did you feel the first time your parents told you that you would have to share a portion of the money you earned?
Maddie: I feel happy that Clínica Verde includes medical care, plus it runs energy efficient. I was willing to give some of my money to people who are less fortunate. I felt I had made a difference.
Jack: I think it's fair that we are able to keep a certain amount of money while some is deposited and some is given to charity. Before I was sad that we wouldn't be able to keep all of our money, but that's changed. After giving our charity money away I felt good inside like I had made a difference.
Maddie: I like the fact that Clínica Verde is going to do something to help girls my age not have babies. I hope that the money I give will give people a hospital so they can get treated.
Clínica Verde: If you could say one thing to the families that end up using the clinic, what would it be?
Maddie: I would say that people are looking out for you even if it doesn't seem like it.
