ACT OF KINDNESS: The Joy of Giving!

Dear friends

---

How are you? I'd like to share some of my activities this week.
I went to my province Boljoon to have #ActOfKindess.
I have been giving gifts to my place since before but I was not able to share them here.
There is always joy in giving which motivates me to continue doing #ActOfKindess.

We give because we have been blessed.

This is our community picture. I hope it will motivate you to do the same. There are a lot of people who need some support.

All of them present in their abandoned chapel have received 5 kilos of rice.
