Give.

With Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter these few days, feel a deep sense of gratitude. In the midst of the reflection, one word stands out.

‘Give’.

Our lifes. Not just to keep. But Give.

Am reminded of one my favourite Social Campaigns – Join Red.

Love it also because it is relevant to our lives. Through fashion, music, utilities… which we all consumer… through that we can make that extra bit of difference. I want to.

Am looking forward to an upcoming trip to an orphanage overseas… and also when my current ipod nano reaches its end, I’ll get the (RED) one

Counter Intuitive Giving

“If you can’t feed a hundred people, then just feed one.” – Mother Teresa

Been wanting to make a micro loan for a LONG LONG LONG time… whoopee! Finally went to Kiva, clicked and made microloans to women in Vietnam and Cambodia! Plus bought a Kiva gift certificate as a belated Christmas present for a good o’ pal (ok… I know that’s quite a lag but I’ve been busy…)

Giving is strange. It just makes the heart happy… and enlarges it. Puts things in perspective too. Makes letting go easier… Pretty counter-intuitive in times like these…

On a side note, think it’s pretty cool they have a mechanism that asks if you would like to update your facebook activity stating who you are supporting. Smart way of spreading the word. Tapping on personal networks.
