Thoughts on Snow White, by Richard Jay (RJ) del Rosario
Many thanks to an anonymous donor who cares deeply for the children at The School in a Cart in Cubao, the Philippines. The children need food, they need uniforms, they need books, the need programs that challenge and ignite passion, but they also need love, prayers, and a lot of encouragement. Lift the Lid is nothing without donations, but we are cold, flat, and unfeeling without empathy, warmth, and unconditional love. Thank you to all our donors for caring.
RJ (Richard Jay) del Rosario is 14 years old and in the 8th grade at Jose P. Laurel Elementary School. He started coming to The School in a Cart in November of 2014 and became a part of their Breakfast in a Cart and Shower in a Cart Programs, held everyday before school.
RJ’s Thoughts on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Get along with one another and be concern for your loved ones are what I learned from watching the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Love your life and be thankful that you are living in this world.
Love your body and your health so you would stay healthy. Do not hurt your loved ones and if you hurt them be the one to come to them and be reconciled. If you were hurt then forgive them right away.
Always be happy and do not be sad for there is solution in your problem. Make it happy forever and if somebody will say, “there is no forever,” tell him there is forever because there is love.
If you are sad try singing what the seven Dwarfs sang, yodelayheheehoo, and make it happy forever.
