I used to be a bookworm when I was younger (which probably explains why I'm KICKING BUTT right now on last week's Good Friday idea). Everyone who knew me bought me books for gifts...dolls were secondary in my world. It occurred to me the other day that I have no clue what happened to those childhood books. Such a pity!
The Idea: Collect children's books from the kids of family and friends who have outgrown them and donate your collection to the children's ward of your local hospital.
The Cost: Just your time.
The Benefit: Reading feeds the imagination. You can help find a home for things that are no longer needed; help a child escape his/her sickness even for a short while; and help promote philanthropy and caring with the children who are donating their used books.
(P.S. I just found out this past week was National Random Acts of Kindness Week. Imagine that! I still think random acts of kindness should be part of everyone's daily routine.)
P.S.S. Please excuse the formatting of this entry; it was typed entirely on my Blackberry.
