Working with children in Kenya |
Regardless of how one celebrates a birthday, it is the one day of the year that each of us feels is ours. It may evoke memories of cake, ice cream, parties hats, and pin the tail on the donkey, or perhaps it was a simple family celebration with a favorite meal prepared. Everyone deserves a message on his/her birthday for it recognizes how much we value the arrival of this person into the world and into our lives. I have a young friend whose birthday is today. She is bright, caring, and full of spirit for new adventures here and abroad. I gave her a flock of chicks for her special day. These little birds will not arrive at her residence, however. They are being sent to a family who will raise them to help feed their children. My birthday friend was excited to share her gift with someone in need. Sometimes the best presents are the ones that reach out to another. Bon anniversaire, mon amie!
