It's November in Halifax, Canada and winters are cold, very cold. Not having a place to take refuge is already terrible, but in an area where night temperatures fall below zero degrees and daytime three quarters of the same can be deadly. If something has taught us all these years of crisis is that nobody is free from danger and that the human being is capable of performing the most beautiful acts of love towards others or the most terrible misdeeds, I suppose that everything depends on the side on which you walk through life.
It is possible that our children do not know very well why injustices occur or why we spend the day killing us, it is more, I doubt that there are many adults who know it, but What they do know is what is love and empathy for others, help and help those who are in a worse situation than them, sometimes even surprising the elderly with simple proposals.
One of them is that of the daughter of Tara Smith-Atkins, who along with a group of boys have planted the city in winter clothes to help the "homeless."
It is November 15 in Halifax and the Canadian winter is knocking on the door, but today it is also the eighth birthday of Tara Smith-Atkins's daughter who has decided, together with a group of friends, to go out and leave around tied to the trees and poles of the city, scarves, sweaters, coats and other equipment to help the needy to spend the harsh winter.
The boys spent more than an hour walking through the city leaving warm clothes tied to the posts.
The family spent several weeks collecting clothes donated by their neighbors. A garment was placed on each garment that read: "I am not lost. If you've been out in the cold, please take me to warm up. "
Any site is good to leave help.
"The children perfectly understood the symbolism of the action," Tara said.
And as if that were not enough, they returned cold ice cream and shouting for heating, so that they could get an idea of what it is like to spend a day in the open in winter.
A small symbol of some small in age and large in heart. We assume that a good cup of hot chocolate was waiting for them at home.
