This woman wanted to help these kids in a remote town. She packed up her car and drove 6 hours to see them. Their parents work far from town so all the kids live at school. The school is funded entirely by donations and even the teachers work for free.
However, it also means the kids never got what they wanted. They only got what they needed. The essentials. So the woman wanted to surprise them. But she didn't want to come home empty handed so she asked the children to exchange something in return.
Some exchange $1, some exchange a performance, some exchange a hug, some exchange a secret. And when one girl tried to exchange a poorly written letter, she wasn't happy, so the girl made a performance for her with jumping rope.
In reality, the woman doesn't care too much what she got in exchange. She didn't want the children to feel like they are a charity case. She wanted them to feel like they earned their gifts.
A girl only watched from afar and didn't made any exchanges. She asked if the woman was happy. Worried that she's giving everyone happiness but herself. The woman assured her that she is and gave her some snacks to exchange.
Do you think she got back more than she bargained more?
