Was reviewing my charitable donations over the past year and found I have room to do a little more.... Also, the Scott Mission in Toronto was advertising for donations to their children's camp programs.... My own church also runs a summer camp for various age groups and for the blind.... I decided it'd be very nice to contribute towards underprivileged, city children being able to spend time in nature...! I know I've had a lot of time to enjoy nature in my lifetime; and I'd like to share with the children.... [Have made a donation.] Would like to encourage other people to do the same, if they possibly can.... [There are various organizations which run camps.... And there are also some day camp programs in the cities, which can be good.... Will include the link addresses for the programs above: www.scottmission.com and www.campfrenda.com .]
Have been learning that in life we really need to reach out to other people.... It makes us feel better and feel good....
There was a parable told by Rabbi Haim Romshishok, according to Wikipedia, where people were seated around a banquet table.... They all had extra-long utensils and found it difficult to eat.... In the hell version of the story, the people kept trying to feed themselves and were doing a poor job and feeling miserable.... But in the heaven version, the people started feeding each other and were successful. They felt satisfied and happy.... And it seems that's how it is in life...! We can't manage on our own....
