The Best Thank you Ever

A few months ago a friend asked if I would like to take part in a Christmas party for the kids at Andrew Murray Children's Home in Wellington. At that stage I was not sure if I would make the actual party, and asked if I could donate something for the party.

Well, they had the party on Saturday and this morning I received a thank you photograph! Hence the title of my post. It surely is one of the best thank yous I have ever received.

Give something back

Before starting with this very sad post, I want to say a huge thank you to Glossary Girl! Just won an awesome beauty hamper on her blog!

Now, I firmly believe that if you get, you must give back. A friend of mine just sent me this very sad email. At first I thought it may be a hoax, so I phoned the SPCA and the story is very true. The SPCA in Brakpan went to their local  rubbish dump to feed some stray dogs and instead found three children under the age of ten years left there to fend for themselves. Their parents are drug addicts and apparently the children were in the way of their daily fix.

I seriously cannot believe that parents can do this. There are people out there who are dying to have a child but can't and these mongrels just left their children on a rubbish dump! The lady at the SPCA informed me that the children are now safe and in foster care, but are in need of clothes, toys etc.

How can we help?
If you are in the Brakpan area, you can drop goodies off at the SPCA or otherwise post to their address:
96 DENNE ROAD
WITHOK
BRAKPAN

The little girl is three and they are unsure of the boys age. There is an older sister of 9 years as well.
