A 10 year old kid is the only student in his school he lives on a small island. He's not unhappy but would probably appreciate postcards from around the world. Cards should be posted from the 7th December to arrive on the same period. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/good-ol-internet-works-to-make-britains-loneliest-schoolboy-feel-loved_565db885e4b072e9d1c3337a

That's a nice thought [Smile]

It will be interesting to hear the results.

Dominique although Christmas time is supposed to be a time of cheer, its also I think in can be a sad time for those who are on there own or suffering health problems, Christmas for some can be a tough time.

Yesterday one young kid on my school run showed me his end of term achievement certificate that both he and along with others had been presented at school. Unlike all the other kids whose parents or caregivers had gone along to the assembly for support, this youngster who is in "foster care" so I had been told by another driver had no one to support him. So just giving him a few moments of my time, to show an interest just before the afternoon run started I felt was important.

Its a shame this kind of thing happens, it really shouldn't

On a more positive note I came across this photo taken by the local press of last years "Santa parade" with the new "Star Wars" movie being released in a few weeks. I am sure those same storm troopers will again be popular this weekend for this years Santa Parade [Cool]
