Every Bit Counts... 18

Let me start out by saying that I mention this for the acknowledgement of everyone who has contributed thus far, and not to toot our own horns.

Ajay mentioned a couple of days back that there is a needy orphanage that he visits annually to make a donation to in Chennai, and that he'd like to do the same when we are there. I thought it might be nice to take it a step further and donate some tangible items too, like clothing. So I sent an email around at the office to solicit used children's summer clothing for us to bring with us to India... and low and behold, the donations started coming in today. I've had numerous emails from friends of people here from the office with kids who were forwarded the original request by our staff. I was so thankful today to be surrounded by such generosity... two bags and a box of beautiful clothes, some I'm sure have never been worn... and even a bag of disposable diapers!

Maybe I shouldn't be so surprised at the kindness of others, but the thing is that I've only been at this location for two months now and maybe know 5 or 6 people... I can't explain how happy I am with their donations to date.

Thanks to everyone who made a contribution!
