I express My Heart in a simple manner. Which is why I chose to keep the blog looking simple. I don't want to have an eye-straining design thus, I chose simple colours to accompany My Heart. I hope the words of My Heart reach Your Heart. I hope you have a better view of Singapore. A better view of why I would love to help the less fortunate. I am not comfortable with knowing that, today, we live in a very advanced world yet in some of the other countries, there are people who are living without a clean & fresh source of water. I usually dislike comparison. However, now I shall make just 1 comparison. In our Developed & Advanced countries, we can just turn on a tap and almost instantly clean water flows out of the tap. In Developing countries, sources of water may be murky and not safe to drink. " Almost a billion people on the planet don’t have access to clean drinking water. Unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war."(taken from http://www.charitywater.org/ )
1 BILLION. 1 BILLION out of 7 BILLION do not have access to clean water. My message, in short, is that we need to help that 1 BILLION people out there in all the big or small ways possible. My reason for this post, is that today, I may not be rich but I still have access to clean water, I have money to eat, and I am provided education. Yet everyday I am troubled by all my pesky little troubles that I face. This problem is very big to me. I feel sort of feel guilty to live knowing that 1 BILLION people out there are living and suffering without access to clean water. Charity Water ( http://www.charitywater.org/ ) has been doing their part. They also have put ways for you to do your part. http://www.charitywater.org/ - go to their website to know more about how you can do your part in providing people clean water. I may post more about this.
