Emergency Afghanistan Appeal.

Here’s what I wish: I wish I could scoop up all the babies that mothers are passing over the airport fences to the allied soldiers on the ground, desperate for them to be taken away from Afghanistan and to a safer life.

But I can’t.

Here’s what I CAN do. I can help get dollars into the hands of the NGOs that work on the ground. The Afghan community in Australia have suggested that CARE Australia is one of the best organisations to help at this time. We can help them.

One of my strongest memories of Christmas as a child was the unbelievable anticipation and excitement of unwrapping a brand new Enid Blyton Noddy book. Oh boy. How I loved that little guy and his friends.

Kids and books: they just go together, don’t they?

I’d love to pass on that excitement to another child (other than my own, obviously) so I’m donating books to the Salvation Army’s book appeal through the Sunshine Coast Libraries.

If you don’t live on the Sunshine Coast, there are other ways to get books to children. You could try these links:

The Smith Family

Wesley Mission

Or you could connect with your local op shop, shelter or council to see what’s going on.

Christmas, at its best, is a joyous, imaginative, creative and inspiring time of year. My wish is for every child to receive the lifelong gift of reading.
