Sponsor A Child!

First of all I would like to apologise on behalf of all authors of this blog for not blogging frequently. We do have valid reasons. Exams had started and I believe we are all struggling. =D That's just what I think. School activities are also very packed so yeah. But here I am trying my very best to bring this blog back alive!

Alright as you see in the title. Sponsor A Child. You might be trying to figure out the meaning behind that sentence right? If you had read the previous post then you shoud know what am I talking about. But nevermind let me go all over again.

Have you heard of World Vision? WV is a Christian relief, development and advocacy organisation dedicated to help the less fortunates. Especially children. WV has offices all over the world. Namely those less develop countries. They had also set up a office in Malaysia. Under the name World Vision Malaysia, they had gathered sponsors from Malaysia to sponsor childrens from various countries. Sadly to say that they do not offer to sponsor children from Malaysia because our country is quite developed compared to other countries like Indonesia, India and others.

But to me as long as we have the heart to help others, no matter where we offer our help to does not matter. WVM began in Malaysia in 1997. This year is their 10th Anniversary in Malaysia. Congratulations WVM!

WV has come out with a program to help the children. The name of the program is 'Sponsor A Child'. You can already figure out what it means by looking at the title. Yes sponsor a child for only RM50 a month. Of course if you're wealthly you can sponsor more children. But sponsoring one child is already sufficient. By sponsoring a child you will get to know who are you sponsoring. Pictures of the child will be mailed to you and besides that you can write letters to you sponsored child as well.

Remember, A Kind Deed Will Be Always Remembered. I've already signed up to sponsor a child. But i'm thinking of getting some of my friends to join me as I won't be able to fork out RM50 a month. Quite a burden I would say. Hopefully I would be able to gather some friends. Would you want to join?

So thats all for today. Hope what I've written here would change your mind about doing charity. =D

If only you cared!

Many many people are suffering all over the world. For various reasons. From hunger to war to being an orphanage.

This is when we, people who are fortunate to having a good life should lend a hand. Or at least donate to the unfortunates.

How?
For now I introduce you World Vision Malaysia! Started from year 1997, World Vision Malaysia had helped many many childrens from various countries with help from sponsors. They had raised millions and millions of dollar to help childrens and family suffering from poverty.

You can be a sponsor to help them. Only RM50 a month can save a child's life. Adopt a child for only RM50 per month. Trust me, your small contribution will make a difference.

Members of this blog intends to do the same when the right time comes as we are only teenagers. But we will not give up on helping others. Age is not a factor to us. No matter how young how immature you think we are, we believe that if we are willing to sacrifise for charity, WE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

I hope we will be able gain support from people of all walks. Charity starts at home but should not end there. There are many more people who needs our help. Do not discriminate. We should help all in need no matter what race, religion and skin colour.

Do Charity by buying chicken rice at RM2.50!

Is it that hard to help a sick and needy person to buy a plate of chicken rice?
after all, it only cost about RM2.50 in school.

Charity is about helping ppl, especially the SICK and NEEDY.

So next time when someone asks u to help him/her buy food,
regardless whether it is bak kut teh or chicken rice...

JUST DO IT!

who knows... that plate/bowl of food might just save his/her life...

Charity comes from the heart, regardless of the size.
Examples:

• Buying food for ppl
  
• Saving an ant
• Picking up rubbish to save the environment
• etc.
  

Speaking of ants.... to ALL animal activists out there!!

Lets all be practical... We live in a world where the
"strong will survive and the weak shall perish".
So.. in a scenario where it's 'kill or be killed'....
For example, u come face to face with a furious bear in the middle of the jungle.

what can u do?

Do you give up ur own life just because of ur love for animals?
Definitely NO!
Do you run away?
NO! cause u can nvr outrun an animal.
So wat do u do?

I'm not trying to say it's good to kill
It's BAD to kill!


However i must say that it's ur bad karma if u happen to come face to face with a furious bear in the middle of the jungle!


So my point is... DO CHARITY!!
this world would be a much better place....
u will also find that ur luck will also improve...
(u won't meet furious bears in the middle of the jungle)
u get emo less as u've seen ppl with worse luck..
There's also the saying 'the more u give, the more u get'..

so.. wat r u waiting for?
get out there and DO CHARITY!

sekian, terima kasih!
