The kiddo's school, the wonderful Rosslyn Academy, is sponsoring their annual Christmas Project. The school community raises money, food, and clothes for a selected cause. This year they are sponsoring the Village Project Africa in Makutano, Kenya, and the New Dawn Education Center just around the corner in Huruma slum. See the school's video here.
This morning, my daughter pulled out her purse where she has been keeping her piggy bank money, grabbed a handful of shillings and quarters, and carefully put them into a donation envelope to take to school. As I was tucking the envelope away in her backpack, she says, "Wait a minute! Now I don't have as much!"
Yes, sweetling, let's go.
