While in the office, one of my friends forwarded me a link to an item on sale on eBay.
It was for a bottle that costs RM1,000.
RM1,000 FOR A BOTTLE OF WATER!!! EVEN BRAD PITT DON'T DRINK WATER THAT COSTS THAT MUCH!
My first reaction to that was obviously
"F#@*&#(*&##CKKKK".
But I read on a little bit about the item.
THIS CHILD DOESN’T HAVE ACCESS TO FRESH WATER
Neither do 1 billion people in the world.
2 million die each year from drinking contaminated water.
Women & children walk for hours to collect water, weighing around 25 kilos each time.
and also spread the word
Grab as many as you can from http://search.ebay.com.my/_W0QQsassZleeseeyin
Thanks!
So I took 10 minutes of my day to do a little research on the One Water Foundation and in the process watched a video on The One Foundation.
I gave Ming a phone call after that and said
"Hey... I found this charity foundation selling RM1,000 for a bottle of water. You wanna buy one just for charity?"
Ming has always been up for doing some charity or community work no matter how big or small or company is. He believes that every company can contribute in their own ways.
Hence with his approval, I clicked the button which took me to the point of no return.
And there you have it. For the first time in my life, I bought a bottle of water that costs RM1,000.If you guys wanna donate (in any small amount), you can call my friend.
Her name is Mehlin and her number is 012 3312 989.
Brader I salute u!!!
ReplyDeletethe doctor ask u you drink more water ~

ReplyDeleteWah lao eh, for a good cause for a good cause, we need more good samaritans such as yourself.
ReplyDeleteLet me go call Ms Meh Lin now.
PS: my my thats a cute name.
Tim,
ReplyDeleteThis is truly an honourable cause to have taken on. Kudos for the brave and sincere effort.
We definitely need to tell the world!
I will definitely pledge!
Wow,
ReplyDeleteI have just spoken to Mehlin, I asked hers, "meh lin lei gei?" she told me some charity thing, so i donated RM50....thanks Tim for sharing this...
Good for you Tim.
ReplyDeletePlain dumb Tim...
ReplyDeleteI worked in charities..and in this case, only 32% of the proceeds get to where it's intended.Honest to God.
Even when I was working at RCH, they were wasting so much on admin, fund raisers, media campaigns that left so little to them.That is with HM Queen Elizabeth as their main patron and loads of money coming in.
Even Shelter, pays members £25 per direct debit donor who contribute just £3 a mth! How stupid is that!!
You could just do a campaign run and setup their site etc than you doing this sort of thing....
Sorry bro..have to be honest and truthful.
PS: I run a charity in UK Myself called Study Support Network, for children who have study needs worldwide, and I know the on goings. It's not as what U think. Read the Charity Ombudsman report about the wastage and you will be crying yr heart out.
wow dont know how much about it is true..but still. at least the kids get some! good luck boss!
ReplyDeleteThe video depresses me today.
