On Thursday we volunteered at a Christmas party for some of the children living in Dysselsdorp, a small and mostly impoverished settlement about 20km outside of Oudtshoorn. A rather skinny Santa was driving around the town in a fire engine to rally up the kids and get them to the venue. Was a fun atmosphere until we started handing out the small food gift packs. Some children who has been waiting for over an hour didn't even get anything because the organisers had under-supplied :( Was really awful turning them away empty handed. Hopefully next year will be different.
Merry Christmas Eve, Everyone. Try to share the spirit this year and give meaningfully, of your time and yourself. Who will you be reaching out to tomorrow?
