It’s Never Too Late For Charity

For those who know me well, have I given you the impression that my money is spent only on gadgets and ipods? I think thats the impression I give to everyone. But wait, I do like to do charity too, not trying to boast, I am trying to bring people into this doing good deeds.

The recent natural disasters have been devastating to the surviving victims as they lost their homes and love ones. Moreover, inefficient bureaucracy and paranoid government are the cause of further despair for the victims. I pity them.

I youtube the song 承诺 last night, sang by a large group of Hong Kong artists. In the video, Premier Wen was seen talking to the kids who lost their parents and he said

“你们幸存活下来，就好好活下去。”

while the kids were sobbing. It’s a very heart breaking scene. If possible, please donate and help them, for the reconstruction of schools, houses and every basic infrastructures. They shall not be deprived of a normal life.

As the chinese proverb goes, 祸不单行, meaning ‘Bad Stuffs Don’t Happen Once, But in a Series, One After Another’ (sorry for the lousy translation) Meanwhile, the promotion of the use of biofuel as the alternative source to petroleum has sparked what the economists called the speculative investment on our basic commodity - food! The demand supply theory is messing up our daily lives, causing inflation in almost everywhere of the world. We may not feel the pinch yet, but the poor people from the Africa Region are feeling the pain. They can hardly afford to feed their people, yet the prices of staple food like rich and flour have been spiking. Even the UN’s world food programme is now fighting a losing battle as it is short of millions of dollars to feed the hungry ones.

Although we are insignificant as an individual, we are almighty and beyond imagination when it comes to collective efforts. What we need to do are to donate a small amount or do whatever stuff that can show our support to them so that they won’t feel left out. If you haven’t thought of helping, you are not selfish nor ignorant, you are just unaware and not informed. No worries, it’s never too late for CHARITY. To them, your tiny help is precious and it’s now or never.

Read on to know more about the bag in the picture and for the video i mentioned.
