Family heritage and giving back are two very important things to Neev Saraf.
When the 8-year-old from Laurel, Maryland, learned about the two recent, major earthquakes and the ensuing devastation in Nepal -- where his parents are from originally -- he sprung into action. Neev usually lends a helping hand to charitable causes in recognition of his birthday, according to his parents, but this year's cause would be especially personal.
Neev began with deciding to donate $384 that he'd saved to earthquake relief efforts. But then -- after asking for donations from family, friends and classmates -- his goal quickly grew above and beyond what his piggy bank could confine.
