All of our troubles seem
unimportant compared to others … others in the other part of the world.
That makes me feel like any post I
wrote seems so menial…so useless…
Didn’t dare to tackle the bigger
issue…surely need more information before I even dare to share my opinion to
the rest of the world. Sharing to friends and family require less … they can
always correct you…and that’s how you will learn more. Post it here, and I will
have people correcting me harshly, sometimes their opinion is more ridiculous
than mine…the thing is, people who judge me the most, is people who are afraid
to reveal their identity…scared much? The information is more acceptable if the
resource person is reliable….an anonymous
is not a reliable person.
I met an Iraqi family yesterday.
I couldn’t help but asking myself, how are they feeling? They are safe and
sound here but back at their hometown, their family and friends are fighting
for life… I am too scared to ask them that though…
On the brighter side, we were
chatting about labor and such and she told me that she gave birth to a healthy
baby girl, weighing 4.5kg! How amazing is that? She did it naturally. I am
sooooooooooooooo in awe with her when I heard that. She is no larger than me!
haha
Well I guess that’s how they
live. They think about their suffering at back at their hometown but they didn’t
let it drag them down. Some act on it, some pray, some give donation…there are
thousand ways to help them…
Ooohhh…..which reminds me… I would
like very much to invite you guys to sponsor a child. I did this with Islamic
Relief Malaysia. I informed them my interest through their website, and then
they sent me an email, telling me what to do. I fill in the form, make the
first contribution. Within one week they
sent me a profile of my sponsored daughter! The feeling was amazing! Her name
is Sundas Irfan. She has 5 siblings. She is currently living with her mom (her
dad pass-away some time ago). It is my hope that with my little donation, she
will get good food and education and then be able to help her family! Isn’t
that amazing?! I never met her (and probably I never will) but when I get her
picture, I cried (okay…I know I cry over everything! :P)… they said that we can
send letters to them but I haven’t done that part…I am still too overly
emotional. huhu

Do something….do anything! ;)
