Satisfaction

If you can't feed a hundred people, then just feed one. ~ Mother Teresa

I was thinking about the children in DR Congo today. Yesterday, another $100 came in which made me very happy. For sure, $2500 has been raised for children whose mothers have been raped and had to abandon them or face disgrace in their communities.

The campaign will run until the end of May so there is a possibility of raising more. I was speaking to a friend in Vancouver today and saying that my birthday had to be about more than just me. This fundraising effort is bigger than me. I won’t know what the impact of this gift will be. I know that besides the money, I raised awareness of what is going on in the DRC and that has been important to me.

I may not feed a hundred people with my efforts but I know I have fed more than just one.

Peace,

Suzanne
