We received an email today notifying us that our Staff Christmas gift has been processed. We chose not to exchange gifts this year (one because we couldn't decide how corny to be with them, and two none of us needed another pair of electric sock warmers). So we chose to give a Gift of the Season Gift of the Season" package in his or her name. A new gift card each season will share the life-changing difference being made for children and families with the gift of a goat (spring), immunizations for a child in an impoverished community (summer), a school backpack and supplies (fall), and water treatment tablets to provide a year's worth of safe water for a school (winter).Had I known about the Recreate connection with Compassion, we might have gone that way. But that could be our next year project.
Collectively we collected enough to provide this gift and we didn't even miss not getting a gift ourselves. Now talk about the gift that keeps on giving. Why don't you think about this the next time you have a gift to be given for a party, or office function. Pool your money together and sponsor a child through World Vision here or Compassion International here
