As an educator and mother, I was inspired by this challenge because I saw it as an opportunity to give back to my community, while being able to model and teach giving to my son.We began the 52Give Challenge in the New Year of 2020, by giving cookies to our local Fire Station to show our appreciation for all of their hard work. At that time, Australia was experiencing catastrophic wildfires and we felt the firefighters deserved to know the community thanked them for keeping us safe! Since then we’ve had so many memorable gives, like donating food to our local Food Bank, learning how to properly recycle in our home, and having Shakti spend time out in the garden with his Appa.Shakti and I have learned how happy giving makes us over the course of this year, a new slogan has emerged in our house: “Do Kind, Say Kind, and Be Kind”. Another thing we’ve learned this year is that when it comes to giving, it is truly the thought that counts. Some of our best gives have been surprising our friends on their special days because Shakti really enjoys making cards for the occasion. You never know how much a small act of giving can mean to someone else.Even though we’ve completed our own 52Give Challenge, our giving doesn’t end as the year does. Shakti has loved to see the impact his small acts of giving have on other people, the planet and the animals. The 365give Challenge has brought us so much gratitude and happiness and we can’t wait to do more gives and inspire others to do the same.The True Benefits of GivingShakti and his mom have shown all the great benefits of giving. Increasing happiness, feeling happy and spreading that happiness to others! It is so easy to do, and how you feel after your give is all worth it. Once you start giving it is impossible to stop!
