Asia has recently been hit by 2 major calamities and many countries have been extending all kinds of help including financial, medical help etc. All different organizations are rendering support to the victims in every way possible. Walking along a stretch of road, you see many volunteers standing by with cans in their hands asking for donations, artistes performing and auctioning their own personal items to raise funds for the victims....Everyone is contributing in their own way, however big or small.
Seeing all those heart-wrenching images flashing across the news and front page of newspapers, and countless pages used to report the details of the calamities in the newspapers, is it possible not to be unmoved?
So in all the little ways possible, we can help these people! Give within our means. It doesn't have to be in large amounts! Like the saying goes, 'little drops of water form a mighty ocean'. 5 people donating S$2 each will be S$10! And 50 people donating S$2 each will amount to S$100! For example, the poster i have attached above is Breadtalk's effort in helping the Sichuan Earthquake victims. Just pop by any Breadtalk outlet and purchase any of these cute S$2 (red bean) buns and all proceeds go to helping the others in need! As simple as that! While of course a normal red bean bun doesn't cost so much, but this is a donation yea?! Anway, you drop the money into a transparent plastic box at the cashier. It's not included with the money in the cash register, in case you were wondering. Yup! Oh and the buns are really delicious, not to mention really cute as well. Hahaha! There's a lot of red bean fillings too!
Okay, i better stop now. Haha but I better make something really clear though. I'm not working for Breadtalk or in any way related to them. I absolutely do not stand to gain any benefits whatsoever from this post. I'm purely doing this so that people can learn more about ways to help the victims because i hear alot of people saying that they want to help but don't really know how to go about doing so, or the other procedures are slightly tedious etc. Yup! So, let me reiterate.
I AM NOT WORKING FOR THEM OR GETTING ANY BENEFITS WHATSOEVER FROM THEM!!
You're free to donate through other means and organizations!
Do your part! :)
