Happiness comes from giving

To be able to give is a privilege, as the saying goes.

I am proud of you, fellow blog readers, friends and relatives. For, I have managed to achieve a total of RM6,000++ of donation from very kind hearted lots like you which I treasured most. This post is specially dedicated to YOU who made a difference!

Like I said in the previous post, given the present economy climate, not many are able or willing to fork out spare funds to help others. With little hope, we moved on with our plan to visit Taman Sinar Harapan KKB. Official approval letter from Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat was obtained within a week and the rest was my duty to raise the money and finding participants.

Emails sent out, phone calls followed. Rejections were expected, excuses aplenty. My heart was halfway sinking ... until people like you came along and picked me up again. "Nothing is impossible", I told myself, just preservere and continue doing the necessary and help will come from up there, this has always been my belief.

The following are the list of all who have made generous donations for this trip which I want the world to know, that there are people like you who continue to give despite the present financial adversity, you all made a difference! I will always remember you and I wish you and all at home health & happiness always.
