If our kids want to give us anything, donate to their favorite charity in our name, or give us gifts of music, books or theater.<br /><br /> My husband and I don't exchange gifts, but give one large gift to an organization our niece founded to support nuns in Kitenga, Tanzania, and their dream to educate 1,500 girls on 1,000 acres given to them by the govt. The school, dorms, library, and a science STEM building have been built -- all green - A as well as a medical clinic and a house for a physican. The school opens in January. Supporting her work is our gift to each other, as well as other charities. <br /><br />As we age, I believe we see what is really important in life and we are compelled to be of service.<br /><br />Patricia T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10673204828383998897noreply@blogger.com
