it has been days since the 2 major catastrophes hit China and Myanmar, and the numbers for death toll is still rising. scarily. it really pains one's heart to see the amount of devastation caused, the number of children who died. i mean, who would have imagined that your child would be crushed to death by crumbling ceilings while sleeping? Read: China Devastationbut at least, international communities are doing something bout it and i seriously think that everyone should play a part in helping these needy. afterall, the poor are always the ones who's on the losing end. i mean, look at the hierarchy of power and you'd understand the case of Myanmar. the thought of the poor people in Myanmar suffering with the possibility of another major cyclone that will eventually lead to a famine breakout....it angers me to know that their government are unwilling to receive foreign aid! just to prove one point. one bloody point. that they are able to handle the crisis themselves! i mean, so what? they should put the lives of the people as top priority, not their pride/face/whatever they want to prove to the world. don't be stubborn when you need help. lives vs face, which is more important?!? no matter how much face you saved or get, it's useless when you exchanged it with the sacrificial of precious lives! totally can't figure out why are they so unwilling to receive international help. my heart really goes all out for those people. SO...i've decided! i am going to donate to both countries. be it clothes, food, money, whatever. i just feel that we shouldn't sit back and relax in our peaceful, safe country and do nothing. so don't be selfish, people, do your part!!
