As indicated, seeing as how it was the last week of January, I wanted to do something different. We have a 'Classified' section on my work Intranet site where a co-worker indicated she was heading to a small fishing village in the Dominican Republic on vacation. She was looking for games, toys, and other stuff for the local children. She specifically mentioned baseball gloves and balls, and since I had a glove and couple of baseballs in my closet, that I haven't used in forever, I decided that'd be a good start. I took a little trip to Value Village last weekend and bought 2 used kids' baseball gloves to up the ante. Then I found a frisbee in my cabinet at work (where I actually had 5 discs) to add to the haul.
It was awesome to see the woman's reaction when I gave her the gloves and frisbee. I can only imagine how great it will be to see the Dominican Republlic kids' faces when she gives the gifts to them. This is my favourite week of giving of 2011 so far :)
