Hey people. As you all have obviously noticed, the skin of our Charity-Blog has changed. Drastically. White ---> Black.
So, we would like to hear from you guys. What do you honestly think of this new skin? Does it suit our blog? Does the old skin suit our blog better? We want and we need comments from you people!!
Lastly, I would like to thank all of you for your incoming comments, ideas, or suggestions.
UPDATE : Blog skin had been converted back to the old one.

To have a Heart. <3
What does it mean to have a heart? Yeah, having that organ which pumps blood throughout your body in the form of oxyhaemoglobin which will be bright red in colour so that your body cells can carry out cellular respiration to perform the specific tasks that they're supposed to just so that you can stay alive.
No, seriously. What does it truly mean to have a heart? Having that organ keeping you alive doesn't really mean anything. Not if you're not making a difference in this world. Not if you're not making a difference in this world, knowing that you are capable of doing it. Even if it's just a small difference. It is still a difference. A good one.
So, how can you actually make a difference in this world? Note: when I say world, I don't mean something huge, something global or international. It could be a slight difference in your very own neighbourhood or something. And when I say difference, I mean a good difference.
Back to how you're gonna make a difference. I'll start by telling a 'story'. Well, I was watching television just now. Channel ntv7. There was this chinese programme called 'Finding Angels'. I used to watch it for quite some time, but not anymore. Anyway, I managed to watch the ending of this week's episode.
It was on this old man whom I think is living in Taiping Perak. Why do I think so? Well, this is the story. He is poor. Meaning his family is poor as well. During the interview, there was this girl beside him. If I'm not mistaken, it was his daughter. The host of the show was asking him : Where have you brought them (his grandchildren I suppose) to? His answer was : Taiping Zoo, Lumut, the docks - all nearby places. The host asked him : I heard that you have been planning to bring them to the Parliament Builing. Why haven't we heard any news about that all this time? He replied : There are problems - organizing it as well as financial problems.
This kind old man just wants to bring his grandchildren down to Selangor to visit the Parliament Building in hopes that they'll be able to learn more in life. However, he is incapable of doing so due to his financial status. So, if you're interested in helping him out, you can e-mail 'Finding Angels' at findingangels@ntv.com.my.
There are many other people you can help out. Our beloved country, Malaysia. Every now and then, you'll see a guy on the sidewalk begging for money. Most people will avoid him or ignore him. Some people would give 10, 20 cents, or even RM1 or RM2 to that guy. Why? It's either out of pity, or just so that he won't keep bugging you. Some people might even donate because they are truly kind at heart, and would like to help him. This is the right way to donate. With sincerity.
The guy may be perfectly healthy and all, but if you are truly kind enough, donating to him isn't a problem, of course. What about those people who are disabled, lying on the road in the middle of the way when you visit the night market? Pity them? Donate to them. However, you must NEVER fall for those fakers out there.
Situation : On the street, you come across a monk. He looks kind, gentle, and peacful. He's wearing orange robes. In his hands is a bowl. He walks up to you or you walk towards him. And in that bowl, you see coins and notes - money.
Solution : Walk away. Real monks never ask for cash donations. They ask for Arms, or Danna - mostly in the form of food. NEVER cash.
Okay, I'm going way off topic here. Supposed to be about having a heart and how to make a good difference. So, have a heart! Help those truly in need. How to make a difference? Simple.
Just contact us and get involved in any of the charity projects that we will be planning and organizing throughout the whole year. If you have any ideas or suggestions, just tell us about it. We would appreciate that very much. We'll work it through and carry out a charity project, our charity project, together.
Once more, I would like to stress on how important and appreciated your thoughts, comments, ideas, suggestions, as well as support are to us.

Thank you.

Making It Bigger : One Step At A Time : Together
Referring to one of the previous posts by Philip, entitled "Making it BIG".
We'll do things step by step. Right now, we're doing charity in kind of a small scale. That is, just in our school, SMK Bandar Utama Damansara (4). So, let's make it bigger, step by step, together.
When I say step by step together, I mean everyone gets involved. Not just the students or teachers of SMKBUD(4). What i mean is students and even teachers if possible, from other schools or societies.
A collaboration between our school and other schools. We work together, side by side, to organize something bigger than what we're doing now.
We can meet up, discuss and agree on a project to work on in our respective schools. But of course, the objective of that charity project has to be similar, if not the same. Then, we shall join whatever we manage to come up with. Whether it is money, items, or man power. And finally, we will donate all of that to charity. It all depends on what the project is.
Yes, I know that doing a project like this won't be as simple as organizing something in your own school or organization because it involves the cooperation with other parties. However, I truly believe that with the right planning and the right parties, it will happen.
I hope that all of you reading this post understand what I'm trying to say here. Basically, it's just us working together with your party to organize a slightly bigger charity project.
So after reading this post, for those of you out there who are interested in working and collaborating with us to organize a charity project, do feel free to contact us via the Charity Blog's official email. On the other hand, if you guys rather not go through the hassel of getting your school's permission, but still wanna do something for charity, we definitely welcome any volunteers to help us out during the project as well.
Finally, I would like to thank you readers for taking your time to visit this blog. Once again, if you're interested in doing something for charity but do not know where to start, this is your call. Contact us to get started on a project together. Thank you.

Making it BIG
In the first month of Year 2007, I have already accomplished 2 Charity Projects. I hope I will be able to achieve my target of getting involved in at least 10 Charity Project this year. And hopefully each project will be bigger and bigger.
I am very happy to see that this blog is growing fast. I thank all Charity Blog’s readers for your time and effort in viewing our blog. This is not my blog, but a blog for all. Everyone is free to share your point of view on Charity here.
I have a very big dream. I want to become like Bill Gates. A guy who is the richest man but humble at heart. I want to be like him. Bill Gates had donated billions of dollars to support the research of AIDS. If I’m not mistaken. He should be taken example by all youth in this planet earth.
But first, I want to work out this blog. I want to make it BIG. Not for fame but for the sake of everyone. I want this blog to be the key point why people are doing charity these days. A big dream I know but it isn’t impossible. Hopefully my dream will come true. Since young I had always wanted to help other people but I don’t know where to start. But now I know. Right here, right now.
I plead all readers to support my goodwill. Have a charitable heart and support CHARITY BLOG!
