GLOUCESTER PEDIATRICAIN DR. BRIAN ORR SHARES WHY HE THINKS BACKYARD GROWERS IS DOING A TREMENDOUS JOB EDUCATING OUR KIDS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF VEGGIES AND HEALTHY EATING

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Find out why Dr. Brian Orr, Gloucester pediatrician and President of the Backyard Growers’ Board of Directors, believes in the power of learning to grow your own food.

“Hi, I’m Brian Orr. I’m a pediatrician in Gloucester, and I’ve been here for close to twenty years. I’ve been taking care of young kids and asking them a lot about whether they eat their vegetables. And, to much frustration on my part, a lot of times kids say they don’t eat their vegetables, or question my question, or wonder what a vegetable is.

And so, over time, I’ve become part of Backyard Growers. I’m now President of the Board. I’ve seen what they do for kids in the schools, in their homes, and at their gardens. I see that kids actually see vegetables growing, learn what vegetables are, and, to, my great pleasure, I now hear answers from kids saying that, ‘yeah, I know Backyard Growers, yeah, I eat my vegetables.’ And they can even name some vegetables that they eat.

I think that Backyard Growers does a great job educating our kids as to what healthy eating really is. It’s a great thing for kids to be a part of. If you’re interested in supporting them, check out www.backyardgrowers.org.”

More to come from Dr Orr.

Friends of the Orphans provides financial and volunteer support to Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH, Spanish for “Our Little Brothers and Sisters”), which has orphan homes and outreach programs in nine countries.

Brian Orr, a long-time donor and Friend, is celebrating his birthday on October 10, 2010. He generously wants to share this celebration with all of the children we support and came up with plans for Triple Ten day. More than anything for his birthday, he wants donations to go to Friends of the Orphans to help the children of NPH. His goal is to have 10 x 10 x 10 people (1,000 total!) to contribute $10 each by 10-10-10. Meeting that goal would mean $10,000!

We are so grateful to Brian for his ongoing support and for his efforts on this wonderful fundraiser, which will help thousands of children!
