QUOTE A DAY- DAY 5/ GIVING

“No one has ever become poor by giving.”-Anne Frank, diary of Anne Frank 

This is such an important quote, I saw it a few days ago and decided I had to make a post about it. I've recently been watching videos about the youtube boy band, for any of you who didn't know, Marcus Butler, ThatcherJoe, Jim Chapman, Casper and PointlessBlog who all have youtube videos (you should check them out)  have come together with comic relief to make a music video for sports relief. Their aim is to raise £50,000 before they release the video. I think what they're trying to do for other people is so inspiring. Just texting and giving one pound can save a child's life, most of us live our daily life having water available when we want it, however some people have to walk miles just to get some water which may not even be safe so please donate anything you, you can make a difference. I have included how to text sport relief to raise money through the boyband, however there are lots of other methods of donating in which I will also leave the link. I am also going to leave a link to the youtube video which is called The Official Youtube Boy Band and it explains just exactly what they're trying to do. 

If you're in the UK, text BOYBAND to 70011, Texts cost £1 plus your standard network message charge, £1 per text goes to Sport Relief. You must be 16 or over and please ask the bill payers permission

It is also just to remember that the word "giving" does not just mean giving money. Giving could mean lending a helping hand, helping an elderly person to cross the road or helping them to carry shopping, It could be volunteering at your local school or charity shop or even at a local sports club/activity club, such as scouts. You may help out your family or friends by being there for a chat or helping them with a problem or helping them to clean the house or wash the car. You may want to help the environment by thinking about your actions, such as recycling your plastics and glass so that these materials can be re-used, you could also take up doing some gardening to help the pollution going into our air and it will also brighten up your garden and you could even start to grow your own crops or grow some lovely flowers or plants just make you smile or give you something to do which may bring such a sense or reward for you.

Giving doesn't always mean in the form of money, it is just giving to someone else and sometimes just smiling at another person may give them a positive hope and make their day. It doesn't always cost to give something so I am going to set myself a challenge which is: To give something to others every day. This may be something as small as doing the dishes or listening to a friend, just something which may make someone's day a little bit better and it doesn't always have to cost anything.

Are you doing anything for sports relief or to raise money for charity? 

Have you given/ are you giving anything at the moment?
