We recently received a huge donation from the US Marines. Three hundred and sixty large boxes of clothes, toys, linens, shoes and toiletries arrived and we could just about get all the boxes into our Central Purchasing department. We started sorting everything but we soon realised that this is such a huge job. Someone then had a very good idea, why not take a few boxes of toys over to the Day Care Center and let the children sort the toys out. Never before have we seen so many toys and so many children all in one big pile, but within a short time everything had gone, the children had chosen which toys they wanted to take home, which toys they thought their siblings would like and packing up in their school bags and dragging them to their parents when they arrived to take their child home.
