Enough to Shame

Now if this doesn't make you feel bad about not doing anything.. An article in the Star here highlights how residents of a disabled home in Sabah (yay!) is donating their excess christmas gifts to Kadazandusun kids in rural areas. Apparently, they felt that these items were of greater need there and they are also running a collection for old mattresses, clothes, school stuff and vitamins.
Now if it takes residents of a disabled home to remind us that there are needy (ier?) people around us, then we should all hide our faces in shame. it's the end of the year, people are gonna splurge on chinese new year clothes (possibly), take the time to clear your cupboard of clothes, or clear your house of things that you know you haven't used in a while. Like my mum loves to say, once you clear the old, there's space for the new! and you realise that you don't miss that many things anyway. Think of the needier kids whom that extra shirt or extra toy will mean the world to. Someone out there doesn't have it as good as you. (coming from me, you can laugh)
Let's do a good deed people, all you need is love!
