$1,000 blessing for munchkins. . .

munchkins always look forward to the coming of this season - summer. summer means school has ended. no homework, no quizzes. it's not that they didn't like school. they just dread the monotonous routine they get into from morning till afternoon and the dull uniforms they wear everyday. camps, field trips, outdoors also signify the season and i am tasked to sign them up for day camps for the entire two months starting july until the end of august. this summer though, it's going to be different for them. their activities will be a mixture of camps that was offered by the community centre and by a private organization.


on thursday, april 14, the program and education coordinator of the royal ontario museum, which is among world’s leading museums of natural history, and of world cultures, confirmed to me by email that cerniel and cailean have been awarded a $ 1,000 worth of subsidy. from july 18 to 29 they will be joining other children in ROM's summer club camp for its World Beat program.

the feeling was unexplainable when i received the great news. i couldn't help not to tear up as i read the email while feeling so blessed and privileged for the opportunity they have afforded my girls. and being the recipient of this blessing, my girls and i will definitely keep the blessing working by also being the source of blessing to other people.

with sincere gratitude. . .
