As an uncle to 2-4(depending on who you ask), I find that I can influence my(biological) niece and nephew's lives, and even education farther on. I also volunteer with the Salvation Army and, among other things, help with their kids program. Right now I am working on getting a computer together so that the kids can have access to a computer for homework and educational games. It may not end up being as good as other people's machines, but it's better than nothing. Schools are not the only places to be involved in kid’s lives.
