Last Thursday, FABULOUS BROWN GIRL had an awesome opportunity along with Brandi Starr from Starr Studded Events to volunteer at Our House in Atlanta, GA. Our House is a child care facility designed for people who could not afford expensive day care costs, or may be recovering from being homeless and making attempts to get back on their feet.
We threw birthday parties for every age group! We gave them cupcakes, lemonade, chips, and animal crackers! Seeing these kids faces light when we entered the room was a very memorable moment! Gifts were even given out to children whose birthdays were actually during the month of November! Unfortunately, these children's family probably do not have the resources to have birthday parties for their little ones even though they proably really want to!
Like I posted yesterday, giving back is not just about doing favors for others, its ultimately about giving to yourself. Giving yourself the feeling of philanthropy is a great gift. It humbles you and allows you to be appreciative of what you were blessed with.
I want to give Brandi Starr a huge Thank You! for making this opportunity possible for me to take part of! It is definitely something I think would be great to do again in the future!
