I’m not sure why but it seems my article on tithing is quite popular. Perhaps there are those who wants to know, why and how to tithe or give away their money. I’ll say “Yay†to that. It proves there’s plenty of good in our materialistic world today, even in this era of “me firstâ€.
Closer to home, I surfed over to LiewCF.com and found out about World Vision. Liew, who also donates a portion of his money to charities, recently decided to channel his funds to World Vision Malaysia.
World Vision is a Christian, non-profit humanitarian aid organization engaged in emergency relief and development work among the world’s poor and needy communities. Founded in 1950, World Vision runs more than 5,000 projects in more than 103 countries around the world which impact the lives of 50 million people irrespective of their nationality, race, politics, sex, age or religion.
Pretty impressive work they are doing to make this world a better place. By the way, according to a speech by Kofi Annan, “The richest fifth of the world’s people consumes 86% of all goods and services while the poorest fifth consumes just 1.3%. Indeed, the richest fifth consumes 45% of all meat and fish, 58% of all energy used and 84% of all paper, has 74% of all telephone lines and owns 87% of all vehiclesâ€. Sure made me think how fortunate I am, in spite of the recent “troubles”.
If you have more than you need, I challenge you to help the less fortunate. You can read more about World Vision here.
