Looking forward to the 2008, there are many events and catastrophe have been happened. In the mean time, I have written over two hundreds of blogposts as well!

Amongst hundreds of the blogposts, I have a very deep impression on this "Give Free Rice" post.

Why?

It is because I've joined the world vision, "World Teacher Program" in the mid of 2007 and I've been sent to one of the small village in Cambodia. At there, I've withnessed many children that living in poverty. If they want to survive, then they need to work very hard, even they're still a child!

I felt really sorry for them, because for earn the living, they've to make a choice to abandon the education. However, this still cannot guarantee that they'll have a nice daily meal...

Soon after I backed from Cambodia, I created this blog and have mentioned about a program "Free Rice" to show some awarenesses to the public.

Hence, to all those children that living in the comfortable situation, you should be glad and blessed about it, as there are still many unfortunate children from all around the world that suffering from the hunger and poverty now...

To me, this post is simply the best because it teaches us that we should learn to appreciate every little things in our daily life, by simply sharing and show our sincerity to the unfortunate...
