    A couple of nice ideas to bring a smile :)

    A woman makes custom dolls for children who have various physical conditions.


    Amy Jandrisevits knows that kids want to see themselves represented in the world around them—and that includes in their toys. That’s why the Wisconsin resident makes custom dolls that have scars, birthmarks, various physical conditions, and disabilities that match the children she’s making them for. “It makes them not feel so alone,” Jandrisevits told CBS News of her business, A Doll Like Me. “Their logical brain knows this is just a doll. But the very innocent child part of them still feels like, ‘Now I’m not the only one that looks this way.’”

    And ……………..
    A village in India plants trees every time a baby girl is born.


    When the leader of Piplantri, a small village in Rajasthan, India, lost his 16-year-old daughter in 2006, he decided to turn his grief into something beautiful. In order to ensure that the village treasured each baby girl (since daughters were not traditionally valued as much as sons), he set up an initiative that sees trees planted every time a girl is born in the village
    As of 2018, 350,000 trees had been planted.

    Like that post - a lot @Bess Barber
    Thinking about my OP above, it can't be 350,000 trees - even if he 'branched out' from the village, 350 trees
    seems more likely over a period of say 18 months
    Its a beautiful gesture, watching the tree grow along with your precious daughter :)
