Join the fun in the magical town of Green$treets by earning money to send animals to needy villages around the world. Players earn money by planting a beautiful garden, tossing items in the treehouse using a catapult, creating robots from recycled junk, saving energy around the house and keeping Shmootz(tm), the gooey slob who is always making a mess, from ruining all the fun! After the players earn the money to buy the animals, they take care of them by feeding and playing with them until they are ready to go home.
Green$treets teamed up with Heifer International to create a way for families to help end hunger and poverty. This new app will benefit those in need around the world and provide a fun environment in which playing is learning—kids learn that financial literacy makes not only our own lives better, but can make their entire world a better place. As children play the game, we can send emails to parents/grandparents so they may connect with Heifer to make real donations. Think how great your kids will feel if they use some of their allowance money helping real kids in other countries. Visit www.heifer.org to show your kids how their virtual game play can be connected with real giving.
