mchappy day

Last week, Zoe saw some ads on the telly for McHappy Day and asked what it was, so I told her all about it. So she made an envelope, and wrote a poster asking people to help the sick kids...and put some money in it as a donation. It was her own money that nanny had given to her to do what she wanted with it. It was just gorgeous. She made me promise to take her so that she could give them the envelope and donation and buy a big mac to donate another dollar to the Ronald McDonald House charity. So we did. They loved her present and put the donation in their cans and then stuck her poster up on the wall with the coloring competition entrants. Then she had her face painted.

I love that she not only wants to know about charities, and giving, but that she understands that its a good thing to do, AND she wants to do it. She quite often asks for coins to put in the guide dog money boxes at the supermarket, or instead of throwing toys and old clothes out we'll give them to charity shops to sell or give to those less fortunate. I'm really very proud of my little girl who has a social conscious and who genuinely loves to help others....guess I must be doing something right hey! If your in Australia, and haven't done so already, head on down to your nearest Maccas and buy a big mac. If Zoe can do it, then so can you...have a good one!
