The Gift of Giving
The joy of Christmas comes when we share the gift of giving with others. And not just those in our immediate families – bt to those strangers we may pass in the street. Those who may be doing it tough. There are plenty of ways you can donate your time to those in need across Darwin over Christmas (and beyond). (List supplied by: Off the Leash)
