Mas and I are going to sponsor a kid. We have not decided on a kid yet but we are most prolly going to, I think.
Cause it only cost you like $45 bucks a month to sponsor a kid and their family but the focus is on the kid that you're sponsoring. So between the 2 of us, its only $22.50 each.
I mean whats $22.50 to us ?! I know it made us sound very arrogant but seriously... For me, having dinner with Tiff and Sheeli already cost me like between $20 - $25 and whats that for ? Its just dinner !!!!
But for the kid that we're going to sponsor, its gonna be a month's worth of school fees, food, healthcare fees etc... I mean hell, in Singapore we get everything for free or dirt cheap and we're so well taken care of. We have healthcare benefits, we have food to eat, we have clothes to wear... and we just take everything for granted.
But for the kids, its nothing... they don't enjoy anything like that.
Tracey and her husband, Jeremy sponsored a kid from Guatanmela (or something like that) and the agency sent them photo of the kid each year on her birthday and I think they only get to dressed up once a year just for the photo-shoot. Cause the photo that Tracey showed me, her kid is like wearing a pair of shoes too big for her feet which she told us that prolly she don't have any shoes and somebody just lend her the big pair of shoes for the photo-taking. How poor thing is that ?
I have to find out how long do we have to commit though, I mean till how old the kid gets and stuffs but ya know, if you think about it the other way round. You are doing something good and prolly its something small, but you still are able to change the world and somebody's lives. So why not ?
Do a bit of charity, cause even though you don't see it, at least you know that you're doing something good and that feels good !
