Can’t afford to give to the needy this year? Give your time, your kindness, your smile, a compliment,your ear. Especially your ear!

With all of the anger fueling the world right now, listening has become more important than ever. Offering someone an ear, even if only to vent their frustrations for a few minutes,might just be what the world needs right now to stop us from violence.

Healing starts with listening. Listening leads to hearing and hearing leads to understanding, which leads to change.

Giving with no conditions, no religion, and no expectations or ulterior motivation. That’s what boxing day should be.
