Sassy Supports: The Book Jar

Help make a difference by shopping for a cause!

Having an active lifestyle which includes running, playing sports, dancing, hiking or any other form of exercise helps one destress, focus and create balance. Team sports in particular can help young children develop respect, communication, bonds, and strength (both mental and physical). Book Jar‘s support for Love 21 Foundation, gives youngsters with Down Syndrome in Hong Kong the opportunity to experience this healthy lifestyle through team sports!
