Charity with love

There was a small but coloured article in the Western Australian yesterday, on page 16.

It's about the charity activity organised by my husband.

He is a Japanese language teacher in Mandurah, and has taken these students to Japan last year.

Since the students have been there, interacted with Japanese students, they felt somewhat personal about the disaster in Japan.

My husband, being a graduate of Phylosophy, thought a lot about the moral of many things.

He did feel that he needed to do something for Japan as Japanese, but also he realised that this would be a good educational opportunity for his students to learn about acting to change things in the world, no matter how small.

Children now a days are prone to dismiss everything with a statement "it won't make any difference anyway".

What kind of message have we, as an adult, been sending them to let them think like this?

It's true that the problem in the world seems just too big for individuals to do anything about.

But it's also true, that if everyone in the world give 1 cent each, that will sum up to be a huge amount.

Same can be said about any positive action you take.

One small positive action is always better than not taking it at all.

And if you keep believing in something, it will one day come true.

Just keep on believing, keep on trying!

  

This is one of the design the students have printed.

These are small donation from me.

My husband asked me if I have something to sell, so I made them last night for him to sell them at school today for charity.

All proceeds go to the Red cross Japan disaster relief.
