I heard of a gentleman at the marina goes to a couple of events to raise money for a charity which looks after elephants. We are emptying an old boat for sale and had a big cover that had not been used so I offered it to him.
I asked if he thought he could sell it and donate it to the charity. He said 'oh yes! That is so kind, thank you!' I told him HE was super KIND to do this every year, take the time to collect things, sometimes restore them and go to the event to sell all to support the animals.
If we make an effort we can all help each other, and sometimes it's not even an 'effort' at all, as in my case, it's just caring. He'd mentioned that he finds lots of stuff at the skip...we do live in a world that consumes and rids of things too easily....we can do so much better if if we try...
