Last week I decided that I would give something to someone every day for a full year (and hopefully more)... time, books, clothes, (not advise, it's too egotistic :-)).
So, over the past week I gave A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Al Hossieni (author of The Kite Runner) to the manicurist at the mall where I have tea and read, she said she loved reading but books are too expensive.
I gave boxes of books and clothes to PCRF (check them out at www.pcrf.net).
Money to the man cleaning a favorite bookshop in Dubai, kinokuniya www.thedubaimall.com/en/shop/book-world-by-kinokuniya
Time to write content to a website, a retreat in Spain (www.fincaretreat.com).
Helped my husband cook falafel for lunch at friend's house.
Taught two teenage girls to knit.
Gave away my bottle of perfume to a woman because she liked the scent.
Wanna join me on this journey? Let me know, I'd love to hear if you could manage to do this daily, and I'd love to hear suggestions and ideas.

That's a beautiful idea, Fadwa. And I love that you count helping someone to learn how to do something as a gift. It certainly is.
Hey Shell! It is, isn't it. Especially if they are so eager to learn! And have since made a few mobile phone pouches for family and friends :-)
