    The art of giving

    An elementary school in one of the poorest communities in the country is teaching its students a lesson in giving, NBC's John Yang reports.

    On Sunday, NBC Nightly News featured a school in Illinois that's teaching children how to give back. They teamed up with a charity in New York called Family-to-Family that sends the children much-needed books and backpacks. Older students at the school then choose books to give to younger ones, and spend time reading to them. 

    To learn more about the organization Family-to-Family, please click here to visit their website.
