10. Yong Xiang>>>>>>
I think that he is a passionate person who
loves what he is doing for the poor. His
kind heartedness helped others and I
believe that only passionate people love
what they are doing will put in their best
effort to do it. Although he is rich, he is
generous and kind hearted. His sympathy
and empathy for the poor is really
commendable.
11. Keith>>>>>>
Being such a celebrity, I think that if Brad
Pitt could remember the poor and give
some of his fortune to them, it is really
commendable. The way he gathers his
volunteers and help those in need is what
I salute him. I believe that if he could
come out of his comfort zone and help
those people in Africa, he is truly a
person that could understand the need of
someone to care for the poor when they
are in need. He is someone that we can
look up to, someone who we can learn
from.
12. Yeong Yuan>>>>>>
I felt that I am actually very fortunate to
be living in Singapore, having a proper
place to live, play and live. We should
come out of our comfort zone and help
those who are in need. Whenever
organization ask for donation, we could
donate some money to them, even a 10
cent means a lot to them, every cent
counts, every cent makes a difference in
their lives.

I felt that we are actually a bunch of fortunate people
who sometimes complain of what we do not have
instead of appreciating what we have. Singaporeans are
always and forever complain for the smallest things on
Earth, such as waiting too long for a bus when it is just
a 10min wait. How about people in the Low Developing
Countries? They do not even have a proper bus stop,
they have to walk from one place to another, and worse
of all, they have to worry for their three meals
everyday. It is horrible for them, and they should not be
treated in this way. Let us contribute some of the
blessings that we have to them, today.
