Christmas will not be Christmas without the spirit of giving. Time has proven that despite all the material abundance that we may have or get throughout the year, our happiness won’t be complete when we do not give to others and make others smile. The song is true : “Walang sinuman ang nabubuhay para sa sarili lamang.” (No one lives only for himself alone). Life will be empty, no matter how you struggle for it, if you don’t know how to share.
After all these hyper craze of gift giving, you will still have an abundance of things you might want to share but don’t know where to give. So here’s a quick list of the organizations where you can happily and safely share your gifts and donations:
