The Children for Children National Tour intends to establish a network among the schools whose children and teachers took part in the Love for Life projects and the schools in their proximity, so that the ones who "received" learn to "give" further. This experience teaches the youngsters the value and the power of volunteering, what it means to give and to receive. They learn to help and support each other, they build friendships and have fun together. Over time, this network will become a promoter and a connector for the children’s ideas as well as for the Love for Life projects.

The project The Giants of concretized Ideas, now part of the "Education for Life" project, encourages children who have participated in the Love for Life Camps to come up with ideas dear to their hearts and to implement them. The participants are receiving support from one of their teachers and from one Love for Life mentor. The mentors, who are often Romanians living abroad, contact the children on a regular basis, offer them moral support. and when questions or problems arise, help them by asking leading questions rather than giving them solutions. Through this project the children are learning what it means to have an idea and make it happen, they are learning self-confidence, teamwork, active involvement in the life of their community, and more importantly, they are learning to follow their hearts and do what they like, what they find purposeful, and, why not, what it is meant for them to do.
