I was a paid bell-ringer for a season, yes. I recall it as pretty miserable and obnoxious work when stretched out for four or eight hours a day which I survived mostly by singing songs. Did you know it takes roughly 20 minutes to get through the entirety of 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall? And about an hourish to go through all of the parts of Evita that I knew.
I have some pretty strong objections to the way the Salvation Army treats its people, but I don't honestly know how good they are as a charity. However, as a learning/giving experience for a 7 year old, it seems like a great way to start.
