The end of the school year can be tough for our children. We simply cannot afford to participate in any extra activities. This week there is a summer fair held at the school. We will not be able to attend or donate even. Our children are left out. Previously I have coped by being honest about circumstances. The children are very much aware of our situation, they understand. At times I have felt bad for the things they will have missed out on. As children, these are important, they are missing out on life experiences.
