We live a blessed life in Singapore - no worries about our three meals, transportation, let alone clean water (we can drink out of taps!). Yet a lot of us choose to complain about the non-essentials - politics, inconveniences, disturbances. Meanwhile, people in Third World countries don't even get clean water. The only liquid they can get to survive contains dirt, mud, feces, even leeches that crawl back out of their throats. Can you imagine having to feed your baby that water?
This movement is extremely inspiring to me. It just goes to show that a little thought, a little money and a little innovation can go a long way in helping not just one person's life, but entire communities. If you are interested to read more, click the banner I've put up on blog on the right side. I've always had a problem in deciding what kind of career path I want to undertake. The considerations are many, but as always, selfish: money, time, prestige, comfort. I take comfort in the fact that such endeavors are possible. I hope that I could work my way to do such programmes as my job in the future.
If anyone is interested to run a project to support this cause, email me at bluesyme@gmail.com. A little goes a long way.
