This project is designed to encourage young people who are recovering from drug/alcohol abuse. The idea is to create a small gift that will help them celebrate their sobriety at special anniversary dates.

Time Required:
1 to 3 hours

Materials Needed:
Fabric or paper square (12"), 12" of red ribbon, Candy, gum and various party favors, Paper and markers

Steps:
Purchase some party favors and other goodies. Place the goodies in the center of the fabric or paper square. Gather up the ends of the fabric or paper and tie it together with the ribbon. It should look like a small satchel. Make a card to attach to the satchel. Draw a colorful kite on the front (you can trace our kite logo or make your own). Write this message inside the card: "Soaring Toward A Brighter Future! Congratulations and keep up the great work." Send or give your Sweet Success Satchel to a local substance abuse rehabilitation center or to someone from AA.
