This is the message from Characters of Character Self-Esteem Elephant! We've visited Shriner's Childrens Hospital in Chicago to share this message along with Girl Scout Troops, classrooms and community events. Now, we're here for the Hendersonville Library and need your help with spreading the word, Sponsorships, donations and you will help us continue making a difference in the life of a child.

We may not have met just yet, but, we will one day it is our hope. Check out a few comments of praise if you're not certain who we are, yet!! We're coming soon! Looking for a location to open up doors to the communities to engage in our character building activities!

“After having the pleasure to meet Mrs. Downey, I learned more about what her program has to offer and I firmly believe that it will instill confidence in the youth where it is needed now more than ever”.

Thanks Andrea, we couldn't agree more. As an educator and having raised three adult kids of our own, confidence is important, it allows you to explore, to learn, to grow and to become proud of who you are on a whole new level!

Characters of Character and Mrs. Downey are so important now for the well-being of our youth. Our children need to feel good about the themselves and have positive role models. The Self-esteem confidence boxes are just the beginning of greater things to come for this generation.

Thanks Diane, as a dear friend of mine once said, "you are building our future leaders" and that made me proud. Our children need role models they can look up to, and, when a child can be a positive, confident role model for their peers, like Diane said, 'great things will come for this generation' help us continue making a difference in the life of a child and for the children in your own community. Thank you.
