Let's Play A part in Saving Lives...

Weather’s not been good to us these past few days or even weeks. Yes, we know that we will get the odd showers or even snow now and again, but this year, it arrive too soon! Too soon I tell you! I presume that it must be raining in Singapore coz I always have this thinking tanking that when it snow in the UK it will rain in Singapore…

Christmas is Around the corner... No, I don't celebrate this festival, but what I do celebrate is the gifts... Receiving and giving of it. People have start sending Christmas or New Year Cards to friends and families and what we receive from our Client today, is totally a different thing... Instead of sending us a Christmas Card, they send this e-mail instead:

“Dear Friends,

The Season’s Greetings to you and your colleagues.

At this festive time we turn our thoughts to friends and family and wish that they are well, enjoying good health and fortune, and looking forward to spending quality time with their family.

We also become more aware of those who do not have such good luck, or have much to look forward to, other than poverty, hunger or disease.

Here at (Company’s Name) we are also conscious of the increasing volumes of waste and the consequent environmental damage created by the annual frenzied orgy of Christmas card exchange.

Therefore, in line with our commitment to operate in an environmentally responsible and sustainable manner, and in common with many other caring organisations we shall no longer be sending cards to all our customers, clients, friends and preferred suppliers. Instead we shall be making a donation of equivalent value to
Save the Children UK or to Sponsor A Child Worldvision.

Our action does not of course detract from our sincere wish that you enjoy a truly happy festive season, and that the New Year brings all you wish for yourself and your loved ones.”

So my dear most charitable friends and families Have a heart… Dig deeper in your pockets, piggy banks, monkey banks, whatever banks you have and make a donation to save lives of thousands of children in the UK and if possible, all part of the world! Trust me, you'll feel elevated after making that donation...
