Light a candle

Picture from allposters.com

"Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness."

My birthday is just around the corner. As much as I love to get presents from you, especially those home made cakes, cookies or muffins, I’d rather have my gifts delivered here. So if you have any spare cash hidden under the mattress (does anyone do that these days?), please donate some to those in need. But if you still have money to spend or time to bake, I still look forward to those cakes and cookies. *winks* *hint hint*.
**********************************

MERCY Malaysia has initiated an emergency response assessment team on the 30th December 2008 to Egypt in response to the humanitarian crisis resulting from the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, which has killed more than 300 people and wounded more than 1,500 people.

The team, aimed at conducting a rapid assessment of the humanitarian needs, will be led by MERCY Malaysia President Datuk Dr. Jemilah Mahmood and EXCO Member Norazam Ab Samah.

We appeal to concerned Malaysians to send in cash donations.

MERCY Malaysia's basis of assistance to the beneficiaries relies on the support and generosity of individuals such as you to contribute to the PALESTINE RELIEF FUND.

It will support our efforts to procure emergency surgical kits, additional medicine and hospital equipment which will be channeled to the affected communities in Gaza.

PALESTINE RELIEF FUND

Cheque payable to MERCY MALAYSIA
CIMB Account No : 1424-000-6561053

Hi Ms B,

Cash under the mattress? I heard many are resorting to this method more so now after the Lehman crash. People have lost quite a lot of trust in the system now.

What a noble thought on your part. Bless you...oh the carnage on Gaza...it is heart wrenching indeed. Let's spread the word around for help.


Wishing you Happy Day in advance dear.

D,

Of course! Since I know some people here can make lovely cakes and cookies, why not capitalise? *grins* I cant bake, u know. Well, maybe i could just that I cant remember when was the last time I did. It feels like past life.

Ms B said...

Ruby,

Oh, I remember I used to hide mine inside the picture frames. Creative, right? *grins*

It's the least I could. NOt sure how many people visit my blog but at least we create an awareness to help.
