Morning All,
A couple days ago I promised to write you the messages from donators who are not only kind but also generous enough to care about others.
The messages have power to give someone else strengths, courage and hope. In fact, they worth much much more than the tangible presents.
Maybe it wouldn’t be realistic to expect that the kids would value those messages than the actual presents. They are children after all. But I hope that the older ones would noticed. Maybe they didn’t feel anything when we gave those messages to them. But I hope one day, those messages, those spirit of generousity would help them when they think their world is crushing down and nothing is right.
Only by reading those messages made me already feel that we had done the project sucessfully. We couldn’t measure what will be the result, whether the kids would really have gotten the meaning of those messages. In fact I didn’t care anymore. I just hope that they did.
The messages are the goodwills of love, kindness and generousity to others. They are love letters. They are quotes. They are the voices of heroes and leaders who care and encourage others.
I collected some of them before we gave them away. And here is the translation. Let’s hear them.
