For A Moment, While I Scroll Down the Page, I Thought U Gonna Post a 9000 Word Write-up to Celebrate ....

For a moment there, you're making me conscious.. :politebleah: .. and

[quote=\"Happy Mama\"] This is a very nice way to describe them.... more compassionate and less condescending...

Well done, Buds! :celebrate: You have gained my respect! :salute:

Happy Mama, my children and i have personally volunteered with a group of under-privileged children and if i can be honest, we have first hand experience working with them. Being under-privileged aside... these children have serious family issues having come from dysfunctional
families. These children didn't ask to be there. They were born into
these families. They cannot choose not to be there. But if more of
us care enough to give our time, they can be rescued... but from
my experience... they do need to want the help.

Thanks for sharing Buds. It's very insightful... :love: :celebrate:

Wow, you are really kind and compassionate to volunteer to help the under-privileged children. DH and I have always wanted to help out these under-privileged kids, but I guess not anybody can do so, am I right? You need to join some social bodies to be able to volunteer?[/quote]I garnered my own friends and pitch to pilot one of our own... with the
help of a few friends from a non-profit organisation... and since the
sponsors took time to confirm their contributions, my small team
of only 3 or 4 of us plus our children went ahead with the idea
anyhow... with our own funding. The non-profit org acted as the bridge
to connect us with the ones that needed help and we had abt 15 children
we could work with. As for those who pm-ed abt the volunteer service, it
has since ceased unfortunately due to time constraints on my end and
also my team. I can empathise with this group cos i've had some form
of contact with a very small sample size of them... there are so many
more. I do find that some people tend to say they want to understand
or in the hope of helping the so termed \"under privileged\" group before
actually even understanding what being privileged truly means.. One
should truly understand the nature of life at the other side of the valley
to even begin to quote such terms.. And before anyone of you beat me
in saying it.... here's saying.. yaa i know i know... :roll: ... i have two of
such valleys lar k?

Been lurking lah. But with so many HEAVY weights BOUNCING off their ideas I felt kinda intimidated.

I this kicik ikan bilis, got neither mountain high ideals nor valley deep opinions so just be the plateau that I am and observe and learn.

And you see, true to the spirit of the thread and indeed as you have said you wanted the discussion to go back to teach less learn more, you have accomplished that without even having to lift a finger, now we know, do not only see what is in front, look behind as well. 2 mountains really can result in more then 1 valley. :rotflmao:
