of numbers and logic
I got back from Perlis yesterday. It was friggin cold in the bus but surprisingly-and maybe due to the fact that it was my second time going thru the same experience-I did not shiver that badly despite only wearing a t-shirt, jeans and a cap (no, no underwear. Seriously). Maybe I got used to the condition or whatever.
Cold. It will be winter somewhere in Pakistan-which was hit by an earthquake-soon and it will be sooo very cold over there. The type of condition you won’t survive in wearing just t-shirt and jeans and a cap. Underwear or no underwear. So some people are setting up funds or whatever to help buy tents for these Pakistanis to survive the winter. If I read it right; they need RM114 for one life. ONE HUNDRED FOURTEEN RINGGIT FOR ONE LIFE. That is; a waterproof, winterproof tent for five will cost roughly around RM570. So it will cost us; the people who won’t be affected by the winter and with the ability to earn money RM114 for one of the people over there-children included-to get a place inside those tents.
Here are more numbers; to donate, you can either make a deposit to BCB account number 14200-007719-055. Or if you just don't have the time you can donate via sms; type GEMPA2 to donate RM2 or GEMPA5 to donate RM5 and send it to 39665. (If you wanna donate RM114 thru sms; that’s 22 GEMPA5s and two GEMPA2s for you. Struggle sial aku kira)
These are numbers concerning myself (and this has nothing to do with boasting or whatever); my last paycheck was RM975; RM500 went to my siblings as duit raya; my insurance policy took up RM150 and I bought baju rayas for my mother. And I donated what I hope would be enough to save a life in Pakistan. And even with my RM975 paycheck I think I would still survive thru this month (it’s not like it’s winter in this country anyway). Ikat perut sikitla kot. Takpun pinjam duit sesapa. Tapi hidupla.
To anyone and everyone reading this; you might be earning a thousand something, or two thousand something, or God knows how much. Whatever that ‘something’ is worth; you earn more than I do. Do donate.
Now after all the numbers, here’s the logic; we put some of our money aside as savings for the future. Donating some now might save lives. And by any chance, ensuring the survival of fellow human beings is much more precious than anyone’s future. Because one must live to have a future.
