Why
does Ross an average guy believe simply by being at last years
basket brigade packing day, he received the biggest gift he has
ever received?
"I
have always wanted to contribute but I didn’t really know how or if
my little part would make a difference. Going to packing day 2005 I
was able to be part of a heartfelt team that touched over 1100
families stretching across Victoria. By being part of this amazing
effort I have realised many truths.
- If
each individual thought their little bit wouldn’t help there would
be nothing
- As
a team, 200 wonderful souls can achieve the work of thousands –
true synergy of purpose.
- My
singular effort touched each and every one of the 1100 families
blessed by this contribution.
- My
singular effort touched each and every other volunteer who also
just by stepping up was able to live this gift.
By
joining the Basket Brigade I have had access to the simplest and
most rewarding work I have ever done. I truly know that by my
simple contribution that touched many I have already received 10
fold in return,
One
easy thing I did last year impacted on 200+ people.
Just
before December I asked my boss if we could have a wishing tree at
our company funded Christmas party. All people attending were given
an invitation which the Basket Brigade provided. It asked them if
they would like to bring a toy along to be given to a child as a
super Christmas surprise.
Well
I was inundated by wonderful work colleges all wanting to help and
find out more about what I was part of. Some even came along to
packing day to share the experience for themselves.
My
boss told me early this year how much he respected my imitative to
set up the wishing tree, and I believe has come into consideration
over favourable decisions I have received since.
Join
the team......
Just
ask the Basket Brigade how you can help. There are heaps of
opportunities to create a real difference in people’s lives……and
your own."
