There are a lot of homes which are getting fundings but there still homes which are little known which needs even more assistance... I was involved in 1 charity project some years back where a group of us went to this rehabilitation home for drug addicts and also HIV+ residents... It wasn't about the money collected. We clean up the place, pool money to paint, cement and sand to pave the floor on the chicken pen. Make pavement to walk on, bla bla bla.. And all for very little publicity as the home wants to still low profile due to the sensitivity of the residents... Then we have a BBQ dinner and even got a bus to ferry some HIV+ women and children from another home and there was a sharing session. It was a touching and memorable day for us and more so for those at the home. To show that the community still have love for them.. That is something money can't buy them, a happy memory.... After the event, the home caretakers thank us profusely for the time spent with the residents. It gave them joy and hope.. Maybe we can come out with something similar with lots of personal touch to truly make a difference to those we 'touched'. Not just the usual fundraising, present cheque and shake hands and bye bye... It won't be an easy task to take on but at the end, it's worth the hard work.</p></blockquote><p></p>
