    Each year we throw a party for poor kids at Christmas time and this year I ventured to have a party for the mentally challenged. I was not sure how it would turn out specially when their behaviour would not be […]

    • It would be a great idea to spare some time and to have the company of these little souls. These souls just need our attention.

      Spending some time with them will surely mitigate their sufferings and sorrows.

    • This is really touching. I love hearing about how others care. And it’s good to show this special kids that there just as special as anyone else. Yeah they may seem different but at the same time they still have a heart like we do. And it truly touches my heart to see others caring for the special needs.they should receive the same attention and respect as we do. If anything we should show kids like this just a lil more attention. Care for them in everyway we can. Don’t treat them different because their different. They still deserve a chance in life. It’s okay to hug them show them love they need it more than we do…Most important their still humans and we as people should never forget that.

The best part about the food, it is not only a flavorful and delicious addition to many meals, but also a massively healthy vegetable that can help you live a healthier and happier life.
