Can you believe it's Mother's Day next Sunday 18th March?
Since having Joseph, Mother's Day has increased in its significance to me. Not just because I am now a mum with a child of my own, but I belong to a community of mothers, from all over the world. Sadly, not all mums have the same opportunities I have had. Every day I give thanks for the medical care we received and the support I have had.
My own mother lives far away, and actually celebrates Mother's Day in May. I often don't send a gift or card but this year I will give a gift in her name that will mean something, not only to her, but another mum that I will never meet.
UNICEF are encouraging us to give a very special Mother's Day gift this year and on their website you will find lots of ideas.
High Energy Biscuits
Provide high protein biscuits for
young children caught up in
emergencies.
The biscuits are filled with
vitamins and minerals providing
vulnerable children with a source
of high-quality nutrition in times
of food scarcity.

There are many other gifts, blankets, safe delivery of a baby, weighing scales. I think Mother's Day is a great opportunity to remember and help those mums who live in dire conditions. Just a small donation can make a huge practical difference to these women and their beautiful children.
Please consider buying a special inspired Mothers Day gift from UNICEF.
