When you are throwing your leftovers away at Christmas this year remember how blessed you are – I remember when we had the good fortune to be with Starlight Family at Christmas time how the highlight for the children was having a meal that was more varied and nutritious than their usual diet. As well as this there was a cake! However little money meant that one cake had to be shared by over a hundred children. As you can imagine they did not get much. At that time some had also received small gifts of clothing and toys that had been donated by friends in the UK and traveled to Uganda with us. We were moved by how happy these small things made the children and wanted to continue to support them. In the words of Scott Adams: “There’s no such things as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end. “
