Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between alittle 5-year-old girl and some construction workers that will makeyou believe that we all can make a difference when we give a child thegift of our time.
A young family moved into a house, next to a vacant lot.One day, a construction crew turned up to start building a house on theEmpty lot.

Eventually the construction crew, all of them gems-in-the-rough,'more or less, adopted her as a kind of project mascot.They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had coffee andLunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there tomake her feel important. At the end of the first week, they even presented her witha pay envelope containing ten dollars.
The little girl tookthis home to her mother who suggested that she take her ten dollars'pay' she'd received to the bank the next day to start a savingsaccount. When the girl and her mom got to the bank, the teller wasEqually impressed and asked the little girl how she had come by

The little girl replied, 'I will, if those assholes at UBC everdeliver the fuckin' sheet rock...
