My kids are excited to prepare thier relief goods for school donation gathering for the victims of typhoon Yolanda. The school announced that they are going to participate to help victims from Tacloban who have been devastated by last typhoon and I can see that this is also an opportunity to teach my kids on how to be a blessing to the needy.
School teacher said kids can donate anything that they want to bring for donation, but spicificaly mentioned that the victims need packs foods like noodles, canned goods and bottled water and medicines.
Other from these my kids also want to bring old clothes and blankets but I explained to them that the school can only bring food donations and we can bring blankets and old clothes instead to our church who also gathers donations to help.
My little one said her donation is few and we need to add more like "milk for babies mom" she said and had a sad face while fixing a pack of noodles. I know my Stephanie has great heart to help but our resources is limited to packs of noodles and packs of canned goods and bottled water. My heart touched by her word that the babies needs milk too. Ofcourse I explained to her that every little thing and donation would help families in Tacloban now and it's not her donations does matters but her heart to help and I embraced her tightly for I know my daughter have a big heart to help even on her own little way.
