  By definition, charity means the voluntary giving of help. It comes in all shapes and sizes. You walk down the street and see people giving their time to fund raise for a particular charity. You hear stories of the ones who have remarkable skill in certain areas of expertise lending their know-how to charitable organisations. You also hear stories of unknown heroes who share their hard earned money with the less fortunate. All these acts are relative to what each individual has to offer. So whether the contribution is big or small, every little bit counts!

  But the act of charity is nothing without those who care enough to want to form an organization whose sole focus is to help the needy. To those special people who organise, plan and sacrifice what they have to do this we salute you. Recently we let you guys know about a charity event the team at stinkythepig participated in. We donated some of our wonderfully cute plush toys toward a silent auction. The proceeds of the auction would go toward an organisation called charity:water. They specialise in providing sustainable drinking water solutions to developing countries.

  We have heard back from the organisers of the event and have been told that they managed to raise over $2000 for this charity. There were even stories of people fighting over the stinkythepig plush toys because they were such a big hit. We as a team are so proud to have the opportunity to be a part of something worthwhile and extremely rewarding. It is always a good feeling knowing you have contributed toward a good cause.

  Speaking of good, we recently completed another product and will look to post it on the website for everyone to see! We will post it next week so stay tuned because we look forward to sharing it with you!

  Some things never change

  As far as the wind was concerned, it didn’t really have any regard towards the feelings of others. For those who feared the cold, it would howl and hiss and puff. There were others who liked the wind and they welcomed the gust that graced their skin. Others were indifferent whereby loving it or loathing it were things that never even crossed their minds. But no matter who you were, and whether your felt or heard or saw the wind, it remains constant – it will always exist.

  The sun was no different. It had no enemies because whether living or inanimate, there wasn’t anything that could ever best its fervor to remain hot. Ever unchanging to the whims of others, the sun remained what it was meant to be and that was to be a never ending source of light and heat. There are all sorts of different people who choose to live life the way they know best. And it doesn’t matter whether you’re a criminal or gangster, mother, father, sister, friend, teacher, hero, loser or winner because whichever life is chosen the sun will still shine on you. It will not discriminate based on size, colour, wealth or power because this ever unchanging provider is a lover of all beings.

  So what do you get when you combine the wind and the sun?

  HOPE.

  Too often than not, trouble seems to find its way into everyone’s life. And although it is something that is relative to each individual’s circumstances, the feelings experienced are real. Sorrow. Torment. Displaced. There would be some that say hope does not exist or hope has let them down. But contrary to what most may think during times spent at the bottom of the sea, hope is ever-present and unchanged – it exists.

  Hope is also something that does not discriminate. It opens itself to everyone so long as they are willing to let it in. It cannot be defeated because hope, in the end, always triumphs. It comes in all shapes and sizes and usually engulfs you when you least expect it. It could be a hug from a stranger, a phone call from an old friend, a rekindling of a past flame or a simple smile. Regardless of what it is, it is powerful and warm and precious.

  Something to think about…
