When it comes to making a difference, Andrew Firestone‘s daughter Anja Jasmine proves that age is just a number.
The 8-year-old middle child of the former Bachelor and his wife Ivana co-wrote a song available on iTunes, towards which a portion of the proceeds will go to the construction of an adaptive playground in her Santa Barbara, California, hometown.
“From a very early age, Anja was drawn to music,” Firestone, 43, tells PEOPLE. “She wanted to write her own song and was asking us what she could write about.”
“We asked her what in her life troubled or inspired her,” shares the real-estate developer and former reality star.
"I hope we are setting a good example of how important it is to be involved and have a voice," Andrew Firestone tells PEOPLE of himself and wife Ivana.
And Firestone, who was The Bachelor in 2003 and went on to wed Ivana in 2008 (they have two other children: sons Shane, 5, and Adam Brooks, 10), tells PEOPLE they’re “very proud” that their daughter is learning to be civic-minded.
“Our family dedicates a lot of time to supporting the community,” he says. “I hope we are setting a good example of how important it is to be involved and have a voice.”
