The Children of Hope of UNICEF

Written by Merve on February 13, 2007

All over the world, there are a number of children and abandoned kids that have wandered off into the world without direction. Some would not immediately understand why they followed such plights in their lives but if looked up close, it is more of fate rather than choice that placed them in such situations. By this, it means that children are not to be blamed for being existent but rather the mindless people who would care more about themselves rather than what they have brought out in the world.

Children of Hope

But to argue and continuously put the blame will not remedy the problem at hand. The best thing is to find alternative solutions such as looking for potential foster homes or new people to take care of them so that they may be put back on the right track.

This is what some organizations such as UNICEF aims to develop. It is not more about prestige, but making life meaningful to the younger beings that are totally wandering in the world without purpose.

A Penny Spared is a Penny Cherished

Written by Merve on February 1, 2007

Deep in our pockets, we often disregard the presence of loose change in the form of pennies and quarters. The overall value of these in a monetary aspect would be seemingly useless, but to the people who are not so well-off in the financial aspect, they would go a long way in adding to their savings for daily needs of survival.

Loose Change

While it is true that people have not been that lucky or have mismanaged their lives somewhere along the way, but the bottom line is that familiar phrase “every penny counts”. Bickering and scolding people who have made a mess out of their lives, both in the natural course and of their own doing, will always be realized when all has been done.

It would all come to a stage in life where asking for help in the form of pennies or goods would become imminent. But just the same, extending a helping hand with things that may not be as important may become someone else’s treasure.
