A friend emailed this comment to me after my 21st July post and I thought it was really worth passing on.
“I love the 4WD! But I really hope people reading this don't feel sorry for the children and send them toys. They are blessed to be able to live a simple life and use their imaginations like this. They are having so much more fun than an Aussie child with a houseful of toys. I remember someone telling me a story about PNG where the children used to make a ball out of reeds or some such material, and then when they were finished it was just thrown into the bush. Some foreigner felt sorry for them and bought them a ‘real’ ball, and it caused so many fights and problems...”
That’s food for thought for all of us who have ‘too much stuff’.
Thanks EH
