Its heart wrenching to see the faces in these two sites: www.worldvision.com and www.compassion.com.au. There are so many in need, way outnumber Brunei’s population. I am touched to know that a lot of people are sponsoring kids from different parts of the world. I have made my first step to do so too. How grateful the child will be to know that there is this someone who cares for him/her. Each and every one of our care and contribution will be a BIG help to them.
Similarly, do you feel any impact after watching the catastrophe in The Day after Tomorrow? Feel any bit scary to see the unprecedented flood scenes in Brunei during these recent downpours? Well, I do :p. Quite a number of people have shared with me their mindsets that the degrading earth stems from the industrial waste from the “BIG” countries and that our tiny help will be of negligible contribution. BUT come to think about the child sponsorship programme, take each child as another tree whereby a small contribution can be a progress in saving the tree’s life. I started to reduce paper wastage yeeeaaarrss ago. I don’t know how many trees I’ve saved haha, but I just do what is within my ability. My next step is to bring a shopping bag with me hehe. Next Next step is to bring my own spoon and fork. Easy and small changes that WILL make a difference. Why don’t YOU try it too?

I knock on door of houses who performing open burning. I told them not to open burning as the weather is getting worst in a nice and friendly tone.
