For most kids， the best thing about having a birthday is the party. Unfortunately， thousands of children both in the U.S.A and worldwide who live 1 home never get to experience the joy of celebrating the day they were born. But that is changing gradually at least in the U.S.A， thanks to Paige Chenault and her Birthday Party Project （BPP）.
The former wedding planner 2 up with the idea in 2009 when she was expecting her first child. Chenault was holding all kinds of themed celebrations she would plan for her yet-to-be-born daughter when she came across a photo of a young homeless boy in Haiti.
This got her thinking about the scores of 3 children whose parents cannot afford the things of celebrating birthdays. Chenault took it upon herself to bring this fun experience into the lives of as many kids as possible and two years later， The Birthday Party Project was born.
At the beginning， Chenault had just planned to reach out to the homeless children in Texas and host parties once a 4 . However， the smiles collected by BPP were too bright to be kept in one state. There was so much demand that the non-profit soon began opening chapters all over the country， with volunteers organizing monthly and even weekly parties at nearby homeless centers.
Over the past three years， Chenault and her team of “birthday enthusiasts” have hosted over 1，350 parties for 12，000 kids between the ages of one to eighteen. This year， BPP has planned over 180 parties across the country， from San Francisco to Minneapolis to New York.
