The concept of Bannerkids is quite simple. Bannerkids makes the public aware of missing kids through Banners. Having a website for missing children is a great idea, but unfortunately there are lots of these websites and no connection between them.  So, it's possible that one site has some kids and another site has other kids, but no site shows all of them.

Well, seeing this dilemma that was happening on the internet, I decided to change the rules and come up with a program that would consolidate every website in the world dealing with Missing Children. So, I came up with Kids finding Kids. 

(Note) Little did I know at the time that this project was two fold,  (1) Getting kids to help me put missing kids from all the different websites together on one site, bannerkids. (2) educating the kids on the perils of running away, or being aware of there surroundings so there would be less chance of being abducted themselves.

I met a teacher that taught computer classes at a local high school and told him of my circumstances. He happened to be the director of the PAL program, and invited me to speak to his classes about my situation. When I walked into his classroom and saw all those students with computers, I knew that this was the answer to my predicament.

I explained to the class what was happening with the missing kids. Using the computers, we went to the different websites of missing kids. Low and behold, the kids started yelling "I know that person." Well, that confirmed my feelings that Kids will find kids if given the opportunity and that this program is going to be a success, so that is when I came up with the program. 

There are a lot of missing kids around the world to find. If your High School would like to join the program across the country or around the world,  please send Bannerkids an E-mail at info@bannerkids.org. If you would like to make a contribution to make this program a reality, please go to the contribution page.  The kids need your help! 

Last, but not least, I would like to thank my new PALs at LVHS for understanding the importance of this program, and Thank you Mr. Bray for being my PAL.

It doesn't matter which Organization finds the Children, but how fast the Children are found!
