Me? hmmm...
apart from cleaning the prayer altar, buying my staff some free lunches, and not yell at the waitresses.. nope, i didn't do much good deeds..
And no one approaches me to sell flags too.. No beggars around the area too.. But I supposed none of these are considered any major life changing contribution :)
Personally, I have a soft spot for older people.. hence I think I have a tendency to steer towards helping on old-people-related issues. I couldn't stand the agony looking at those 70 years old uncle near my place who have to lug a bicycle full of old carton boxes to the recycle centre in hope of selling it to afford a day's meal.
Then there are also cases of old mothers who have to work their ass and life off to make a living for a bunch of useless children who knows only to ask for money and not be able to give the comfort of a peaceful live to the 2 person who gave them life. Sometimes I wish money is not an issue to all rising issue in the society.
Apparently, despite money not being able to buy happiness, it is still considered one of the main aspect in lots of issues in the society.
No money means no means of providing a platform to help the lesser fortunate people in any way. I mean.. if u want to help some African kids who are starving and u are in Malaysia, u can't be making a walking trip to Africa with 2 cans of tuna and a loaf of bread in ur bag in hope that u can help the starving kids. It's a great thought of course, but doesn't seem possible with a SINGLE effort. But if u have a 1000 people with 2 cans of tuna each and a loaf of bread,the next step would be to figure out how to transport these to the kids.. and make sure it gets to the kids and not being fed to the dolphins in the sea =P (of course the dolphins need help too, but a different mode of help)
Now u see why it's never easy to be a philantrophist.. with insufficient money..?
But don't worry.. I am not asking for your penny or pounds or rupees to buy cans of tuna :)
Just asking for a bit of kindred spirit to click
(U know... just like how some of u help me to be 2 cents richer by clicking on my nuffnang ads =P )
of course after u clicked on it, look for PROJECT EXPLORER AND VOTE.

Winnie my friend is an advocate for abandoned stray dogs.
And I would also like to do something for the old people.
But in the mean time, if you are still doing some soul searching to see where u are inclined to.. give the children and education a click :)
Even if u prefer dogs more than kids, no harm helping out in terms of mouse-click so that Project Explorer can have enough fundings to help people rite?
