Posted on September 26, 2017 by Sonali

Number 26 – Volunteer at a kids charity at least once a month

Posted on September 7, 2017 by Sonali

I won’t call myself someone who donates a lot to charity. I do from time to time when something I come across touches my heart. I believe that charity begins at home and would rather help where help is needed and I know the personal story. While charities are great and set up with the…
