Give the gift of opportunity
Dear Editor,
Christmas is a time of giving and sharing of peace, joy and happiness. It is a time when we lay aside all the weight and differences that separate us for a whole year to come together as a family, community, and friends to celebrate.
It is also one of the most kindest times of the year. It is a time when employers give bonuses and when family and friends give gifts.
The gift you give can make a lifetime of a difference to someone and can mean the peace and joy perpetuated for another season.
Many persons throughout the year would have been unemployed. Unemployment can indeed put a damper on the Christmas holidays. But there is something you can do. You can change the face of unemployment for your loved ones, family, friends and community when you give them the opportunity to create employment for themselves.
When you are giving a gift this Christmas, give the gift of the opportunity, so that your family, friends, community and loved ones can enjoy the season.
