Every family deserves a good CHRISTMAS

I am currently raising money for 10 families in Kubusi Village, Eastern Cape. Christmas is yet another reminder that the season of giving has come and is upon us.

It is very sad to see families go hungry and without any means of survival. Yes the government can do so much but in the end, the support these families receive is NEVER ENOUGH.

The funds collected will be given to the families and will be used for the following:

• Buying groceries that will at least last for 2 months (December 2020 and January 2021)
• Christmas clothes
• and other necessities as identified by the families.

The funds are needed before the 10th December 2020.

Your support in this initiative would mean the world to me and I know it will bring a smile to your face.

“Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.” ―H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Your giving would really mean the world to the recipients and you are also encouraged to come and see a family you supported and also give them a hug to show them warmth and making them feel loved.

Here are 7 Reasons Why You May Want to Re-Ignite the Desire to Give.

1. Giving helps other - If you're blessed with the means to live a reasonably comfortable way of life (meaning, if you're able to read this), you have the ability to give.The world outside can be a dark place, and those who have little or nothing depend on the generosity and loving-kindness of people with a giving spirit.When you give to the less fortunate, you add to their lives - and by adding to theirs, you add to yours too.
2. Giving inspires giving - People who have been on the receiving end of kindness to pay it forward and give to others even when they have hardly anything to give.Perpetuating the cycle of giving makes the world a better, more humane place to live in. Be a good role-model for people around you, especially the young who are feeling entitled to receive whatever they want.
3. Giving teaches responsibility - When you give, you may have to make sacrifices.If you feel the urge to donate to a desperate cause regardless of your own financial standing, you learn how to do without certain things so that you can make the donation.Perhaps you'll watch your spending habits, or you'll be more frugal for the month. And you'll realize you don't need that much in your life to be happy.Sometimes less truly is more.
4. Giving cultivates self-worth - You may be giving for a selfish reason - you'll feel good about yourself.Even so, the effects of your kindness on others are purley positive and you can both bask in the joy that giving brings to those you've helped.There's nothing wrong with feeling proud of your generosity and using that to spur you on to further acts of kindness in the future. It's a good way to start believing in yourself.
5. Giving makes you happy - Seeing the smiles, gratitude and expressions of hope on the faces of those you are kind to makes the act of giving worthwhile.
6. Giving does make a difference - No matter how much or how little you can give, you have the power to touch the life of another person and you can affect them in ways you may never completely be aware of.

   
   It's easy to be cynical today and to think that the help that you can offer is negligible, but it only takes a small gesture of kindness to change someone else’s life.
   

7. Giving is easy - There's so much that you can give.
