It is great to see more and more people joining Buy1GIVE1 everyday. And everyday there are moments that really take our breath away. We come across unbelievable outcomes we never even imagined when we started.

There was also this one moment this week that really got us all feeling deep gratitude.

Alex Teh runs a blind-installation business called Blinds Couture (www.blindscouture.com.au ) which was featured in our April newsletter. We just found out about the contribution sent to the worthy cause partner for the last three months of Blinds-Couture trading.

We connected Alex’s business with a school lighting project with an interesting twist, “Blind to Light”. And the contribution report was “Installing electricity and light in ten rural schools”―in every single classroom! This immediately benefits over 2,000 children, providing them access to lighting! But even more than that, this will keep benefiting all the future students, each and every year. Imagine the difference it makes to the learning environment of the children who have been struggling to read in the dark!

But it is not only about the physical results being created. We actually just received a message from Alex yesterday that says everything about why we do what we do.

“I feel so privileged to be able to see this Magic happen. What made me realise is that with the comfort that the kids will experience, they will grow up with a better chance in life. I am so touched by the idea that maybe in the future some of these kids will be leaders in their respective fields and that I have had a chance in contributing a small way to them achieving their successes....I in fact broke down in tears the other night when sharing this thought with my wife.....this is an extremely emotional experience for me, and I definitely get IT now. Thank you for making all this happen.”

This is the gift of letting go―sharing the joy of giving, every second, every day and in every way.
