Giving

You know how there's a saying 'giving produces just as much joy as receiving'? Well, on Sunday afternoon, I really noticed how true that saying is!

You see, on Thursday we'd had some friends come around for dinner and one of them started going through my cupboard and telling me to give away everything I didn't wear anymore. So, after hours of her holding up clothes and me screaming 'NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!' (but sometimes yes!) I finally got a pretty big pile of stuff to give away.

Then, on Sunday, the rest of my family went through all their jewellery, clothes, makeup and toys to find some other stuff kids would love. Then we loaded it all into our big toybox, stuck it on the back of the truck and treked inland to Teouma!

Most of the kids there were just over the moon! Absolutely glowing! Although, there were some exceptions who either ran away or seemed really confused, but that was expected. It was just a really, really amazing time!

It was crazy thinking that the little barbie doll or shirt we gave them made them THAT happy...but it did :D

So just remember to be content with what you've got, because there are some people who have a whole lot LESS!!!

This was the first group of kids we came across and they were pretty impressed with their pressies :)
