There's a popular saying, you may have heard: "It's more blessed to give them to receive." That sums up the idea of generosity. Many people have experienced the incredible feeling of being generous. We can be generous with our money, belongings, or even our time. Our students at Trojan Nation will learn this valuable lesson this month of December!
