There are some lovely pictures. I thought they have focused on causes in all areas, from people to animals to nature. Many people dont think of nature or really care much about it or animals.

No, he never took part. But I think it's too soon to say that he doesn't take part 'usually' since this is only the 3rd time the event takes place.
Since several members particpated the last couple of years, I think W-A will participate in the future too. Someone has to watch the kids...

Wow, I love Laurentien's brown and white skirt! I wonder why she didn't wear this to one of the baptisms instead of some of the very odd outfits she has chosen.

I love the skirt, but it doesn't look completely appropriate for the occassion. Volunteering is hands on and sometime messy. I wonder why she decided to wear such a lovely skirt?
