My friends and goddaughter donated some stationery for the kids studying in the primary school near my place. So I decided to give them these lovely gifts on the eve of Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice). In Singapore, this day is also known as Hari Raya Haji. I thought it was a perfect day to celebrate the spirit of giving.
Besides the stationery, we also brought with us chocolates. The kids were so happy to receive the gifts. I could see the joy on their faces which made me even happier. Some of them even remembered to say 'thank you' - something which I had taught them when they received something from someone. I was really delighted. I felt like a teacher all over again while I was in the classroom. It is truly a blessing to give than to receive!
