December ... my favorite month in the whole year. Workload is usually less during this time, the approaching of Christmas and the gift selection for close friends and a long overdue much deserve holiday break (oh did I mention my birthday is also in December ;P)
Recent years, I never receive any birthday present from my friends. Not because they want to save $$$ but we agreed to use the money for a more meaningful purpose. We have opt to used the $$$ to buy gifts for our World Vision sponsored child or donate to a charity. We only need to spend quality time over meal to catch up on our busy lives.
World Vision's gift catalogue gives people the opportunity to buy meaningful gifts for friends and family, whilst meeting the needs of impoverished children and families. Whether it is for Christmas, an anniversary or a birthday, your loved one would appreciate a good deed done in his/her name.
“Give a Gift. Change a Life.” 送上希望·改变生命
How it works:-
1) Pick a gift for a loved one.
2) Send a gift card, telling your loved one about the special gift that you bought in his/her honour.
3) Your gift will be delivered to children/families in need, bring smiles all round!
Among the gifts features are cows, goats, organic fertilizer, rice, biogas cooking units, school uniforms, books, medical insurance, playground sets and sewing machines. For big items, several persons can opt to share in the same gift.
For more information, please visit the official website here or drop by at the Gift of Hope booth at the Bangsar Shopping Centre, every weekend from 10.00 am - 10.00 pm in December.
The year ahead will be a challenging time for all of us but I believe giving is much more meaningful than receiving.
