And you never know where one small gift might lead.

In March this year, I was invited to attend Asha’s wedding. She had done as I had asked and finished school before finding a husband.

The incentive for doing this was my promise to contribute towards the ceremony and to purchase a colour TV for the newly married couple.

She is now expecting her first child, and so I will be a grandfather again.
