People In Black and White Contest Entry 
“There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behavior, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us.
‘This good to give a stranger a meal, or a night’s lodging. ‘This better to be hospitable to his good meaning and thought, and give courage to a companion. We must be as courteous to a man as we are to a picture, which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

This picture was taken in a school for disabled children in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico.
The School is founded and supported entirely by donations.
Angelnotion who has also founded and finances a hospital for people, especially children and woman in need, support this school.
Almost all in our community are involved with Angelnotion, many doing volunteer work.
Each Year to Christmas every kid will write a letter with a special wish to Santa. These letters are livered by Santa’s helpers to our community were we draw the letters and fulfill the wishes.
If Santa [a volunteer of Angel Notion] comes to school there is a big fiesta were we are invited. There is no grater joy as to see these children receive their gifts. The true spirit of Christmas is all in the air.
