Birthday present for little Lydia at her 12th birthday

Me and my wifey are going to sponsor a child, in the povelty area of inner China!!!

Sometimes I find myself asking what's our perception of "value" in life? We are raised in a generation where we tend to take many things surrounding us for granted: Food and drinks we consume daily, the roof that we live under called house, ease of convenience (from cellphone to microwave), entertainment choices (from clubbing to gambling), indulgence (from chocolate to spa), sinful habits (from lazy-to-recycle-waste to compulsive shoppings)... even with all these goodies in life, we still can't stop complaining. And at the same time, there exist thousands and millions of others out in different parts of the world who could hardly afford a meal a day, and where clean drinking water is an absolute indulgence..

That's our little Lydia on the left of the photo, playing in her toys basket by herself (my naughty wifey put her in there!), and the left is the photo of two young kids in povelty. For RM50 a month, through WorldVision Malaysia we could sponsor a child to help him/her to live a better life. We could correspond with the child in writings, as well as visiting them in person. As a matter of fact, we are thinking to bring little Lydia for an overseas vacation on her 12th birthday (that's..errrr.. 11 years from now). We'd fly together with Lydia to inner China to visit the sponsored child and her family, and to spend a few days there together. That, and there, we hope our little Lydia would be able to pick up a thing or two about what's the right perception of "value" in life should be...
