I read an article about poverty in Africa. It made made me cry. There's a picture showing a old lady making cookies using salt,water and mud. Then she will let it to dry under the sun. She will then sell it for like 12cents each. We can just dumped unfinished food,throw it away if its not nice while it's hard for them to even find a grain of rice. Buy a new packet of lunch while there's still leftovers from yesterday meal in the fridge where we can just reheat it. Take our own sweet time shampooing our hair with the showers on while they have to bathe, drink, cook using the same dirty patch of water. We are living in a place where we can get everything. We either have to pay for it before having it or use it before paying it at the end of the month. This place pampered us too much. Imagine if we have to switch places with them. We might cry for not having the things we have and wasting it while they are enjoying themselves, forgetting us in their place. It saddens me.Thinking of the things Ive wasted in the past. I don't take the examples from people. It starts with me. I admit I've been shampooing my hair while the water hits my back massaging me. It sucks right? I'm trying to change my ways of splurging,wasting slowly. I know its gonna be hard.But I'm gonna try anyway.



A few months ago, a friend ,told me about adopting a child. She adopt two boys that she called her own. She said that those kids in the homes would cry, sob by their beds every Lebaran morning if no one comes to take them home. Since that day she took one of them home. She's not married and are often being asked whose kids are they, she'll reply" I'm a single parent". How strong of her to face people's talking. People were like accusing those kids her results of having sex with her past boyfriend. Her ex left her since she took one of the boys home without discussing with him first. She had them since they were still newborn. Their parents either didn't claim them at the hospital or dump them outside the home's gate, leaving them to freeze in the night. Cruel human beings. Ever since that meeting with her, i dreamt of having kids in the house. I had a chat with Mak and Adik a few days ago bout this and they agree with me in adopting a little boy for Lebaran. If i could afford the cost and procedure, i am determine to adopt a boy for a week. Mentally i am ready, so are the rest. If there's any information about adopting or any one looking for adopting parents..Please give me a call . I'm willing to take them rather than they are being left in the cold to die by irresponsible parents. Or thrown down the rubbish chute.



Lets all take a minute out of our lives to pray for every human being who are out there waiting for help. Those victims of natural disasters. Those who lives with poverty. Those whose homes were destroyed bringing the souls of their families together. Who lost their precious belongings, family members and memories.
Lets give them a space in out hearts. Pray for their well-being.
