A volunteer at Operation Christmas Child sends packed and inspected shoe box gifts for children down the line to be packed.
The joy of volunteering for Operation Christmas Child.
JOY! youtu.be/dDQ1Asr1_kk
Dorothy came in the for the day to help be part of the processing of close to 200,000 shoebox gifts (from this warehouse location ) for children in 3rd world countries.
I will start from the beginning. Only a few weeks ago I received an email from a mother who has a 10 year old daughter ‘Pearl’, who since grade 3 started to lose her hair. She now suffers totally with Alopecia.
All Fran, her mother, wanted was to find someone that could paint her head and find a photographer to take a couple of portrait images to make Pearl feel beautiful.
Without giving it a second thought I volunteered immediately.
I contacted Fran and assured her that I would put my feelers out to find a facepainter that would oblige to give their time as well.
This did not take long at all. My very first enquiry to Nikki The Clown at Trinity Beach had the immediate response. Of course she would be delighted to be part of making Pearl’s special surprise pre-Christmas day and make her feel beautiful.
Well today was the day ....
The scene was set at my home and everything was arranged. I had the good fortune to have two of my photography buddies come over for support and take some images as well. I must thank Joy Melchiori for being my second shooter (could not have done it without you) and thank you to Yvonne Rein for being our assistant, with reflectors and just being plain good fun.
We marveled at Nikki how she created sheer magic. What a privilege it was to watch her painting skills and watching Pearl with the glint in her eyes and the broadest of smiles.
Between us we will be able to present Pearl the most memorable wonderful slideshow to keep forever. Let alone some incredible images to be printed out to adorn her walls.
Pearl is the most remarkable stunning girl. Her smile will light up any room and she has the most wonderful good nature and personality to match. What a darling.
We hope that just for a moment we spread Christmas cheer all around.
We know that Fran and Pearl will never forget it and there was not a dry eye in the house at times.
With heartfelt thanks for letting us share this moving beautiful day with you Pearl.
From Your Guardian Angels Joy, Jolly, Flash and Nikki.
We feel blessed to have met someone so brave and special.
Now someone pay it forward. This is what Christmas is all about.
Here is the show which we will give Pearl for Christmas. I have modified it slightly since this one, but you can still enjoy version 1 :-)

Last weekend made a visit to a Muncipal school in Pune as a part of the office team which participated in the Joy of Giving activities. It was a totally different experience in visiting the school and meeting kids. Infact many things were similar to my childhood days' school - Kendriya Vidyalaya, Air Force Station - Sulur. Memories refreshed.
