Child Sponsorship

Picture from World Vision International website.

Hubby and i learned about World Vision's "Child sponsorship" program via Hongkong TVB channel. We are touched by the TV program and we decided to join the sponsorship. We know that World Vision is a Christian relief and we are actually Buddhist, but charity should be religious free. Just like their values : Serve all people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity and gender.

We have signed up via World Vision Malaysia website. They have confirmed our sponsorship for 2 child. Upon our first contribution, we will receive the details of the child they assigned to us, under our sponsorship. (Will be sharing in my blog once we got it) ^_^

Life may be hard especially during this economy bad time. But sponsoring a child only needs RM50 per month. Divided by 30 days, it's only worth a can of coke a day. Without that RM50, we won't be starved. But with that RM50 every month, a child, his family or maybe his community may overcome poverty. So, why not saving a can of coke everyday to help someone from poverty.

一天少喝一瓶可乐，一个月少到外面用餐一次或少买一件衣服，就能帮助一个小孩，他的家人甚至他的社群脱离贫穷，何乐而不为？

Perhaps we can't change the world, but we can change one child's life.
