Touched

Today i spent the day with Shenath.
We were just slacking and coupling around...
the day was exhausting, not to mention warm!
the temperature nowadays is crazy...
left my house feeling all cold then heading to the north, it slowly got warmer.
Weather's going all bonkers right now. It's crazy!

Okay, anyway... Today, i was touched by a mail that Shenath got.
It was a ppt on the Sichuan disaster.

If you still cannot see, this is what is says....

"People are rushing to donate money. Many rich people donated in millions, but no one can match Xu Chao(徐超), 60, on the right. He is a homeless in Nanjing, 1000 miles from the disaster area. He saw the news and went to donate 5 Yuan in the morning. He said people in the disaster area were worse off than him because their lives were threatened. He came back in the afternoon, donated another 100 Yuan ($14). He explained that all he had were pennies and dimes, and he didn’t want to waste volunteer workers’ time to count them, so he went to the bank to change everything he had into one big bill. This is from a man who doesn’t have money to buy food for himself."


What are you feeling now???

I saved this especially to share with you all at how people can be very helpful, despite their own situation.
Also, it also seems to magnify the deed a thousand fold when a poor person, helps the poor.
I am so touched by this man's deed even though all he could donate was just a small amount.
I am very ashame of myself at how i couldn't donate at least more than he had donated.
even if it wasn't just about some tragedy, i guess i will have to take the step to helping out more...
