Celebrating with Grand Gestures #ActsofCaring

by Tazim Damji

Celebrate with Grand Gestures

What would make you feel appreciated? Do you have items on your bucket list that would make it on your "best day ever" dream day?

Aviva Community Fund Charity Contest

by Tazim Damji

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Aviva Community Fund for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. My favourite ways to give back revolve around community—preferably something close to home, so I know, and can see, the results of 'giving back'.
