HAPPY CHRISTMAS


Belated Christmas wishes. We had planned to have Kenji, Akira and Kayo stay for Christmas this year along with my parents. Unfortunately, Akira and Kayo had to go suddenly to meet up with friends. But they got to take their Christmas gifts with them. Among other things we gave our Chrustmas wwoofers a present on behalf of all wwoofers we have ever had. Just prior to Christmas we had had 52 wwoofers stay. Through Childfund, our child sponsor organisation, we purchased $52 worth of "gifts that grow"- $1 per wwoofer. Firstly, this is to recognise that each and every one of you has made a contribution to our house, and we do remember you even if we don't have time to keep in regular touch. And secondly, to give a gift that shares, that makes a contribution to a more equitable world. The gifts were mainly chosen on the basis of adding up to 52 so it turned out to be some fruit trees in one country and some books for a school somewhere else.
So thank you all and I hope you had a happy Christmas.
