One of the things I learned this summer was that small things can make a big difference in the lives of people who are suffering. For the homeless and the marginalized that we met, summer is a time of relative ease compared to the damp, cold winters on Toronto's streets. Our little team tried to do what we could and they were all hopeful that when they came home they would impart some of what they had learned at home.
Our small group collected hats, mitts and gloves for the Food Bank. In a few short weeks they filled a big box with love. It is cool and warm to think of those little gloves going onto the hands of a kid who has lost her gloves and has no way of replacing them. Way to go group!
Oh, and I also wanted to mention...our group also bought a goat. A goat! Through world vision, we put the funds in place to buy a goat for a family in the third world. You can see the best Christmas catalogue ever at http://www2.worldvision.ca/gifts/app.
Am I bragging? No. I am encouraging...small things to bring relief to those who suffer.
