I have always seen the advertisements for World Vision when I was back in Perth. It was about sponsoring a child for a dollar a day, and I would always wanted to it. Syikin and I was chatting on msn, and she told me that if it wasn't for the loan to payoff, she would have joined some voluntary work. I trust that she will do a great work in volunterring; she has this big personality with a wonderful soul in her. Though I only stayed with her for a couple of months, it was the best time I had with her as my housemate. She has the most patience that I can find in anyone else I know.

Indeed doing a voluntary work takes a lot of mental and physical preparation on an individual, and I know I am not ready for it. The closest I can do is to sponsor a HopeChild, when I start earning a decent amount of salary. Looking at the pictures of the children, the tinge of hope in their eyes and their innocence, they deserve to live in this world like any other child. These children are robbed of the necessities and amenities in their home, all because they are living in poverty. I must confessed that I do have all the material and physical needs well-provided for me since I was a child. I had a decent roof above my head, food provided for me every meal, education was compulsory to me and I get to travel overseas from a toddler onwards. To these third world children, it is a priviledge to be able to have all these. Yet most of us are complacent of what we have in our lives.
