Just a Little Help


[Submitted by XandyGee on December 8, 2006, 3:09 pm]

We all know that the Philippines was badly hit by the super typhoon "Reming", especially the provinces in Bicol and this Christmas all i can give is just a little help---i couldn't give cash coz i am not employed yet, but i have plenty of unused but still new clothes in my closet. I asked mom for  groceries and helped her put them in bags. Now they are ready to be donated to the foundation of the company where my cousin is working.

I know that my donation wouldn't be enough to feed and clothe all the victims but i know it would really help not just in easing the hunger but most of all in healing the wounds in the hearts of those who lost their houses, their livestock and their relatives which is the most painful of all...at least they will feel that there are people who are more than willing to help them... 

There's another gift that i can give which i think much, much better than goods and money. Along with their houses, relatives and livestock, their hope was drifted by the flood and their happiness was blown away by the wind... and we all know that no material things can ever bring back what the victims had lost but i can help in rebuilding the hope in the hearts of the victims by participating in the operations of any organization. i would work with NGO's as a volunteer in an outreach program.  and by this i can at least make the victims' christmas a meaningful and happy one despite the tragedy.
