My dearest sponsors,

This thread has been idle for a while. Guess it's time to make it happening again during this festive season.

I've jz sent a Xmas card to my child. Can share about urs??

I've got some increment and am sponsoring another child from China.

All the best and Merry Xmas!!!

Much has been said about child hunger... and to the man on the street, it's all pretty complicated.

Well, here's your chance to do your bit for hungry children, and it's really simple!

Join World Vision's Skip-A-Meal Campaign :

Skip breakfast, lunch or dinner and use the money to put a steaming bowl of rice or noodles in front of a hungry child in Sabah or North Korea.



It's so simple, anyone could do it!


Skip A Meal

CHINA EARTHQUAKE AFTERMATH

World Vision China is providing aid to 10,000 survivors in the wake of a powerful earthquake that killed more than 12,000 people and injured tens of thousands more in southwestern China. Relief efforts are hampered by heavy rain and the destruction of roads and telecommunication networks.

My dear friends,

One Life Revolution reached over 10,000 lives !!

Due to the overwhelming response, One Life Revolution is embarking on our second leg to 5 more venues in the Klang Valley (2), Penang, Kuantan and Johor Bahru.

One Life Revolution (OLR) is a unique walk through experiential exhibit that's held in Malaysia for the 1st time. OLR lets people “walk in the shoes” of others who have suffered the plight of social injustice. The life-size exhibit gives people the opportunity to have a direct encounter of someone else’s life as they struggle to cope with HIV/AIDS and living in harsh conditions prone to child trafficking.

OLR is basically a public awareness and advocacy campaign. The exhibit aims to raise awareness, among Malaysians, of the plight of children affected by HIV/AIDS and child trafficking. It is hoped that having “walked in the shoes” of the children featured, visitors would develop a sense of compassion and be challenged to help those affected in various capacities.

There will be 3 (three) real life stories depicted (children from Cambodia, India, and Malaysia) in 3 different 'paths'. 1 path will take about 20 minutes.

Please drop by to support this meaningful event and help to forward this msg to your friends.

"You Have One Life, Do Something"

p/s: I'll be around during the weekends to help out. Really hope to see you there

Hi all noble supporters:

It has been a long time since i last visited my own thread. I'm working in another country now.

However, i've not forgotten to support the poor children around the world.

I just sponsored another 2; 1 from Vietnam and another 1 from Indonesia. I also supported the Hope Fund this time.

WV Hope Fund is optional when you sign up as a child sponsor.

It is an additional RM30 monthly to help World Vision prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and care for the affected/infected around the world.

For those who are able to, do remember to support the Hope Fund as well.

Cheers

Dear Sponsors,

This thread has been inactive for a while now.

How's the progress of your sponsorship? I have sponsored 10 children now.

Keep the good deed going
