Make a Difference

Make A Difference Day

In 1990, this day was set up

as a way to recognise

the millions of people who volunteer…

people who help others…

people who make the lives

of other people much easier,

often by doing little things.

It doesn’t matter what you do today,

 so long as you do something

 to help someone out.

If you are a little lost for ideas…

I have a few:

wash my car (or someone else’s!)

weed my garden (or someone else’s!)

plant my next season’s seedlings

(or someone else’s!)

climb on my roof

and remove the sticks and leaves

 and fix the gutter guard

(or do this for someone else!)

write my hundreds of report comments

(or help someone else do theirs!)

clean my house (or someone else’s!).

You might have bigger plans -

cook a dinner for someone

who won’t expect it,

paint someone’s house

or fix a broken gate…

Just make a difference…

and you’ll feel great

for having helped someone out!
