hi guys i think earlier this year in april as commodity prices were rising like mad and the rice fiasco crisis in thailand broke out and affected alot of countries...
i stumbled upon the Fill the Cup Campaign in the World Food Programme adverts.
and it was about filling others with rice for food...

it's when a little sum of money you donate can help fill the cup for someone somewhere.

while many of you like to think you're helping others when you finish your food. here's a real way to get it done.

it's said 25cents fills the Red Cup of porridge for a kid who won't go hungry.

to me i think it's a great way to really feed others with what I have.

i trust the WFP because it's big enough and has enough checks to know the money will feed at least someone out there.

i think it's a mark of greatness when you are able to offer others what's of yours.

i know in terms of emotional strength i'm not that great, but at least i can give what i have, a little bit of extra money on the side.

and i kinda feel you tap into a different realm when you give back to society and the world at large.

it's like you reverse the order of the world and you become in charge of this new one where you can choose what when and where do you want to give to.

of course if you prefer other charitable organisations that's fine too. you have a choice with your money.

but go on. Fill the Cup

:)

2008 was tough. everything about me was under attack. but i kinda think i've come out stronger from it. or just lived through the siege to live another day ahead.

i still want to be on the edge and remain true to the things that are me. and on top of that value the relationships around me in every sort or form.
