Tomorrow we celebrate Mother's Day. Like in the UK we celebrate it on the second Sunday in May.
My daughter in Australia sent me a card from Oxfam saying that my present was a gift to the midwives in Laos. This is part of a world-changing program called Oxfam Unwrapped. I am very happy with this gift!! The fact that my children became good mothers, who also care for the rest of the world and think of such a gift, makes me proud of them and happy.
She wrote on it:"From one mother to another mother for many other mothers."
Wikipedia says:"UK holds the prestige of being the first country in the world to dedicate a special day for mothers It started when the Roman and British Empire converted to Christianity."

A lovely gift Wil and a worthwhile project indeed.
Happy Mothers Day to you and your daughters, Wil.
Yes, indeed! A very Happy Mother's Day to you and your daughters, Wil! And what a wonderful gift for such an incredible project! This is really great and so needed in our frequently sad world today! Enjoy your weekend!

great organization
What a wonderfully thoughtful gift! Two years ago, my daughter gave a classroom full of supplies (to me) for Christmas! Happy Mother's Day, Wil...we celebrate tomorrow, too.
What a special gift on Mother’s Day. While my mother was living I called her every Mother’s Day to thank her for having me and taking care of me. I have never heard of this organization, but I will read more. genie
What a thoughtful gift that will keep on giving. Happy Mother's day Wil.
What a fantastic idea that is -- perfect for the day Wil! You raised daughters as beautiful as you are!
