Donating For A Charity Project

Once I heard from Ms. Meg that the Cloudrats Mountaineers is holding a charity project to benefit Aetas in Benguet and they are looking for sponsors, I did not have a second thought to help. I wanted to join them in the charity climb but December 2-5 would be a conflict, as December 3 and 4 are working days. So sad that I cannot take a vacation leave again—I just had my two-day vacation leave for our Cebu-Bohol trip last October, remember?

Therefore, what I did was buy some school supplies which will be distributed to less fortunate Aeta school chidlren on the said dates. As I was buying the stuffs—Imagine how thousands of people move inch-by-inch on the busy streets of Divisoria as they avail of the Eid'l Adha holiday for their shopping espree—what I felt was purely altruism, both in the time, effort and money part. I consumed much but honestly, I am really glad that I am taking part in this noble deed.

Well, now I have done one of the things I have to accomplish before the year ends. I do hope that my donations will go a long, long way. I know this is just a small thing compared to others' contributions but I am sure this will benefit many children from the countryside.

Keep up the good work, Cloudrats!
