I am a proud member of a volunteer organization: Tampa Big Givers. One of our most recent projects involved creating a Valentine Party for children at an orphanage. Children range from 6-18yrs old and most have been abused, abandoned, overall disrespected by their parents/guardians. Their stories and lives break your heart. It was a pleasure to be with them, even if only for an afternoon and hopefully bring a smile, warmth and relief from their worries. Zev volunteered to come along to help, which I was so pleased with. It opened his young eyes to those less fortunate, he was able to practice and give kindness. We decorated cookies, did crafts, played games and promised to be back---and we will. If only for a short time...we can make a difference.

What a wonderful thing to do! And a great example to set for Zev, too.
But I always knew that you were an excellent mom, Lea!
