So today i went into work and opened the money tin which i left in the staff room to collect yoyo money, spare change etc etc etc., as seen below.
It totalled $78.45, and i counted this on the wastage sheet :) |
lol i don't know why i needed this picture? |
Then i donated it towards my online page where i currently stand at $750.15 |
As i will not sing Boys to Men, i would like to shout out to my brother and thank him for his generous contribution and his loving remark of "hello" :D
I would also make a shout out to (haha imagine me in CB yelling a "CAN WE HAVE THREE LINES THANKS?") all the VILLAGERS who have contributed to this money tin and thus far supported me not only in monetary donations but just in general in LivingBelowTheLine, In now way would i have reached my target without each and everyone of you. And honestly from the bottom of my heart appreciate every cent and dollar (haha it reminds me of Amanda in She's the Man . "Every touch.... every..." errghhhh haha moving on :)
With this $750.15 and counting, WE have sent 15 disadvantaged students to school for 6 months on scholarship.

For your donations. And as noted in my first blog
There's always gonna be another mountain (or target)
I'm always gonna wanna make it move (or hit it)
Always gonna be a uphill battle (or be a temperamental hungry Karyan)
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose (/ not hit the target)
It's all about the Climb, having some glimpse of how it feels to live with 1.4 billion others in extreme poverty and actually not doing something for charity but something that has to be done.
It's a basic human right. Justice.
I've effectively reached my target and gotten a glimpse of how it feels to live with 1.4 billion in extreme poverty.
I look forward to the future believing that this will translate to Making Poverty History.
With much Love and Hope,
Karyan Ng
