enthusiasm and excitement doesn’t end with the party. The surprise of how
much they could raise, whether they have met their targets, is the post-party
excitement. Of course, their parents ensure that the kids have enough funds
to support their cause of the year.
No extra, more, stuff. Just memories made and treasured; a whole lot of fun
with friends and a certificate from the organization that thanks the little angles
for their thought and support. An animal taken care of for an entire year or a
library with more books that many kids can enjoy, school with musical
instruments that kids can play with, children with better vision… all this made
possible by two kids letting go of their birthday presents. Now that’s a
celebration! Who says kids cant think, feel, understand or make a difference?
P.S. Two of their friends, one now in Florence and one in Singapore, inspired
by the Sonnad kids, have started to celebrate their birthdays this way. ‘Better
World’ is not just a dream and children CAN make a difference.
