DEAR DIARY ;
Wear a Yellow Ribbon, give ex-offenders a second chance.
Had a really fulfilling and accomplished day selling flags for yellow ribbon. Although I met people who are skeptical about giving, there were also a fair share of cheerful and generous givers.
What I did that day was all the I could. I cannot give in monetary terms for now, but I can in terms of my time and willingness. But compared to what I contributed, I took back much more. I had fun with the group of Four Legend consisting of John, Ivy, Arthur and myself! :)
Anyway, the money that is collected that day will be use to organize programs for the ex-offenders and help them to integrate into the society again which is very beneficial. It's human to err, but if they are willing to change, why not give them a second chance?
Show a little love, and the world will be a better place.
John and MeSo thankful that John went down to help. Appreciate the heart of willingness and the time he was willing to spend for a better cause. :)
Selling flags reminds me of kettling. I like the idea of being able to contribute within my means but I constantly have the urge to wanna do something more.
This is the final picture of us, whole group photo. And we are the group that is left with zero yellow ribbons left! Yay! :)
Glad I spend a day of my holiday doing something more beneficial than shopping, watching movie or slacking away.
To all the people who gave, thank you very much for your big heart.
I believe in second chances. :):)
