If you’ve been following this blog, you might have noticed that on last session of Ask My Readers #2, I asked my readers the following question,
If you have the privilege of donating your monthly online earnings for one month, which charity organization would it be?
First thing first, I’d like to offer my sincerest appreciation to those of you who have taken the time to suggest your preferred choice of charity organization.
I’ve picked 3 of them and I’m creating a pool (see below) to further let everyone help me decide the final one that has the highest vote.
Now to help you make a better voting decision, I’ve included a brief description of each of the organization and what they do to make a little difference in the life of those ‘the underprivileged‘.
World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families, and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice.
Feed The Children is a non-profit relief organization that delivers food, medicine, clothing and other necessities to children and families who lack these essentials due to famine, war, poverty or natural disaster.
* I swear someone actually suggested this but I just couldn’t find it on my comment section. Still a huge thanks to your suggestion.
Teen Challenge offers hope and healing for those in life-controlling problems since 1958. Teen Challenge USA provides staff training, curriculum, referrals, promotions and accreditation to a network of over 200 centers nationwide.
Thanks to Ryan
You might be asking why I have a certain affiliation for the underprivileged childrens. Well, to tell you the truth, “I’m an orphan who did not have the privilege of parental love and care since young…“
God has created my destiny for a reason and I’ve lived my entire life appreciating what HE has given me so far – the power of independence and survival. OK, that’s enough. The rest is history.
Your Vote Can Make A Difference
Leverage the Power of Your Blog
I’m the midst of planning one project that are special and interesting here at thoushallblog.com for the benefit of the underprivileged, I wish I could spill the beans right now but I couldn’t as everything is still in the process of making sure the mechanism of it goes as per its original plan.
The only thing I can say right now is that the project is dedicated for the benefit of one of the charity organizations you’re voting above.
You can have anything you want just by helping others to get what they want – Barack Obama
That being said, I might need a couple of extra hands here so if you are keen to be part of it, please do leave your intention on the comment section below. I’ll take note of it and when the project is about to get off the ground, I’ll feed you with more details.
None the less, if there is one thing you can possible do…is to blog about it in any possible way you can. Create as much awareness as you can possibly create and get your readers to vote here. It’s no obligation. I just believe in the power of leveraging everyone’s social network for a Good Cause.
Yes, You and I Can Make a Difference Today
PS: I’m not accepting any donation here, if you feel the need to do so, please do it at the respective organization listed above. As the saying goes, “Whatever Goes Around, Comes Around”.
Last but not least, any valuable suggestions and feedback is very much appreciated. Thank you and I love ya all.

If so, I vote for Feed The Children or World Vision.

I’m afraid I’m confused here. Care to let us know your reasoning?
Yan
Well, it’s just a personal beef.
They seem to not be prepared. Watched one of the Ms. teen USA mess up on Youtube and I shudder everytime after that.
Umm, good reasoning.
Anyway, I voted for Feed the Children.

I was thinking of doing something similar myself in my own community. I know there are many underpriviledged people in my own community and would love to contribute.
I was thinking along the line of people with disabilities myself. Since most of them live on low income, I figured many I could provide a few of them with new laptops to be able to surf the web at least through a whole year.
Still working on the details.
Bruno Auger´s lastest post..Traffic and Indexing = Money
Hey Bruno
That’s indeed very nice of you to do something for your community. However, I think a desktop might be a better idea than a laptop which can easily be taken away.
I don’t how much would a laptop cost in your country but here it’s pretty expensive and has its resale value. You’ll be surprised what people can do in desperation.
That’s just my 2 cents
Yan
Hey Yan,
I think its real nice of you to help out the under privileged.
I want to help with this when it starts, so please let me know when you get this going and what I can do.

I’ll be glad to help you, Yan. I’m personally sponsoring a child through World Vision. A kid from Dominican Republic. He write to us once in a while, talking about his situation and thanking me.
It feels good to see what little money you’ve spent makes such a big difference in other people’s life.
By the way, Zig Ziglar, I believe is the first one who said “You can have everything in life that you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” If memory serves me right, it was from a 1980s marketing seminar that I’ve got my hands on.

Hey Andre
You are in. I’ll give you the details real soon. Oh yes, I’m too sponsoring a child from Indonesia. I always believe, “Helping others is to help ourselves”. Truth is we will never realize how fortunate we are till we do something for the underprivileged.
Thank you for your support and about the quote? I could have made a mistake but that’s exactly what Obama quoted in one of his speech. Still it’s a great quote.
Yan
I’m sponsoring a child at the moment through Compassion.com.au. All of your money goes to the kid (for his/her education, health, etc). You’ll get letters from the kid and vice versa (you can send one to him/her)
More details here: http://www.michaelaulia.com/blogs/how-to-sponsor-a-child-through-compassion.html
But yeah, glad to see fellow bloggers who are not just focusing on how to get more money online :)
Michael Aulia´s lastest post..From personal to professional
Hey Michael
Thanks for the heads up. I’ve taken a look at the site based on your recommendation. Compassion is pretty much the same as World Vision. They are both well-recommended indeed.
I wonder how I could have missed your article…I’m glad you are doing something for the community too. Stay tuned with us.
Yan
I must say that original quote was made by Zig Ziglar, not Barack. But what can I say: I’m a sales guy.
Yan, great post and once again a reminder for all of us to share good fortunes. If you’ll setup a donation on your blog, let me know – I’ll contribute. I think if 10, 20 or 100 bloggers will donate to your fund – we all can sponsor several children thru you.

Congratulations on choosing to live a successful life with the trials you have been through, I commend you for that Yan.
It is very hard to choose just one charity, there are so many needy people out there, and when I go to restaurants and realize how much food we throw away every year while people are starving it really is a travesty. I gave some money via John Chow charity drive all ready last month and I give to my local shelter every year, I wish I was a millionaire I would give more.

Hey JR
Appreciate your kind words. Yes, life is all about what we choose and appreciate what we can’t. Thank you.
I wish I was a millionaire I would give more.
It’s never about how much money one can give, it’s about what one thinks inside. Compassion can never be measured in terms of money and that’s what I come to learn.
Yan
I casted my vote. It’s nice to know that there is something good going on. you have my curiosity. I am staying tuned for more information. ;-)

Teen Challenge helps youth and Adults. I sponsor a child through Compassion International, similar to World Vision. All 3 of the ones you have presented are worthy, so hard to pick just one.
Looking forward to seeing what you are working on.

You are in. I’ll be in touch with you and I’m sure we could do something together.
We all have our stories to tell, what is more important is how much we appreciate what life has given us. Speaking of which, many still don’t have the privilege to think about or do so. Let’s make a little difference this festive season.
Yan
Hey Yan- Let me know the details. We’d be interested in helping out. You’ve picked some great causes. While I don’t know the details of your plan, I think it’s wonderful you’re taking action to help when/where you can!
