Description
Through Operation Moozie, CKN partners with organizations like WeServeToo who honor military families with programs reducing stresses that families endure due to deployments and reintegrations. Moozie backpacks are supplied to children at military bases and family events across and outside the USA. String backpacks are filled with Moozie story books, coloring book, cuddly Moozie hand puppet, and stickers. Each year, hundreds of children in military families have expressed joy upon receiving Moozie backpacks.
In 2021, 525 children of deploying families joyfully received Moozie backpacks, and in 2022, 315 children were backpack recipients. In 2023 so far, Moozie has brought cheer to 25 children at military family events. Moozie wants to bring joy and kindness to many more children with your help! Every $40 donated for Operation Moozie covers costs of another Moozie backpack kit.
Goals for 2024 include expansion of this program to families of military veterans and children's hospitals.

Description
Working with the early stages of brain wiring and helping children develop empathy and compassion, is critical in stopping bullying and meanness before it appears on the playground and ultimately when they're older, the Internet. Currently, in partnership with the Center for BrainHealth at the University of Texas at Dallas, the Children's Kindness Network is doing just that by developing an e-learning training program known as Kind Minds. Featuring Moozie and her four values of kindness, this research study seeks to examine how a kindness intervention program can impacts familial stress levels, parent-child relationships, demonstrations of empathy, and brain-healthy habits. The program is available to parents with children between the ages of three and five years old and interested participants can begin to get involved in this study by completing the following interest form: http://brainhealth.link/kind-minds.
