I'm a Jolly Toy Scout!

I have forgotten to write about this last year and felt that I should still share this now. We got a toddler in the house and so with a kid comes the toys and other stuff. At first, the toys occupied only a small space in the storage room until one weekend in December last year when I started cleaning and realized we accumulated two extra large Toy Kingdom plastic bags of stuffed toys. There was even a very large teddy that my youngest sister got from my mom as a kid and had outgrown. I asked our toddler to pick the ones that she still loves and decided to donate the rest to Jollibee in Santa Cruz, Laguna.

The Philippines' fast-food restaurant chain accepts donations of toys and books during the Christmas season through its Maaga ang Pasko program and this is my first time to donate. It felt good, especially because I know that the toys will go to children who needed them the most. As for my part, I’ve donated only the ones that are still in good condition – the mutilated and decapitated ones are still at home and getting a loving hug from our kiddo. I’ll definitely do this again next year.
