This month I share a story of how one person helped people less fortunate than himself.

Aarush Singh, a 13-year-old from St John’s Hamilton East church was looking for a way to help needy people as part of a school project. His church supports the Food Bank so Aarush brought items to contribute including tuna, milk powder, sugar, Milo, tea bags, biscuits, baked beans and potatoes. By doing this he hopes to teach other young people to share.
