The Spirit of the Holidays: Gifts of Hope

The situation we're living nowadays is really difficult for lots of families. Our school is always trying to help other people. And the first step to help others is to consider our own situation. Do we live better? Do we have unnecessary things which can be consider luxurious? Could we do without many of the things we have?

Have a look at this video and think about it?
