40 Acts of Kindness in 40 Hours: World Vision 40 Hour Challenge
This morning, we had a family meeting and asked: What could we do this weekend to help children like our sponsor child Leston in Malawi? My kids are 3 and 5.
Their immediate responses?
“We need to make food.”
“We can give toys.”
“Maybe flowers?”
Honestly, my heart.
We talked about how we cannot physically send those things overseas, but we can show kindness here while raising money for children in the Solomon Islands.
So this weekend, Ayla, Jack, Chris (husband) and I are doing 40 acts of kindness in 40 hours.
Our challenge is:
🍪 Baking for 10 neighbours
💐 Giving flowers to 10 strangers
🧸 Donating 10 toys
♻️ Picking up 10 pieces of rubbish
That is 40 small acts of kindness in 40 hours, while raising funds for families in the Pacific.
This is the 40 Hour Challenge that makes sense for us at this stage of life.
And I am really proud to be raising my kids to be compassionate, kind and neighbourly at their young ages.
Funds raised will help families in Solomon Islands access the seeds, tools and skills they need to grow crops and feed their children in a changing climate.
This kaupapa matters.
Across the Pacific, 1 in 6 children are living in severe food poverty. Together, rangatahi across Aotearoa can help change that.
I would be so grateful for your support, not just for our little family challenge, but for the wider Pacific and Advocacy team at World Vision New Zealand.
Please donate today to our child-focussed programming in Solomon Islands. Because everyone is our neighbour.
Go Ayla and Jack!
