Something that makes me feel better

So...we got an email around work on Thursday telling us that the two sponsored children that work sponsor were $180 in the red which is pretty sad considering that they are sponsored kids and two months behind on payment could basically mean life or death to them.

Normally we do meat raffles for them, but the person who usually organises them left the company like 4 months ago. (We obviously had some money saved up!) Anyway, the most awesome Kylie came up with the idea of a hamper raffle complete with home baking. So, she bought, a couple of us baked (mmm...brownies and mini scones...) and we basically had the worlds MOST AWESOME hamper. It was HUGE.

We had so much interest we had to add another two pages of numbers AND a second prize of a bottle of wine and mini digital photo frame.

We raised $300 for those kids!!! I was so, so stoked about that. Especially since we work in this industry that is all about commercialism and consumerism. It was nice to be able to do something for other people who really needed it.

I will post photos of the most awesome hamper when I get them of my computer at work.

Feel good moment for the week :)
