I have always had a soft spot in my heart for children, especially the orphans, the sick, the hungry, the abused, and the impoverished. For me, they are the most vulnerable. This tag from Bambit made me think of all the suffering children around the world, especially in war-torn areas in Africa and the Middle East. I believe that there are enough financial and material resources to help the world's poor children. The problem however lies in the allocation and use of such resources. Rather than invest the resources in fertilizers and agriculture, for example, there are a number of third world governments that would rather use the money on weapons or lose the money through graft and corruption.
The problem also lies with the failure of the rich nations to develop an effective process that would make sure that their aid reach the parties or groups those nations intend to help.
Here are the rules:
1. If you get tagged or not (or want to play along), take some minutes to meditate about love and peace. Pray for countries that are facing troubles, for those people you love and those you don't.
2. Write a post with links to blogs that you think would like to participate.
3. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme.
I am tagging Mec and Miki and all those who wish to participate.

Hey Baker Boy, thanks for doing the meme, kahit siguro medyo hilo ka pa from the cable car ride sa HK (nakakahilo ba yun?).
Hi Bambit,
Hindi naman but it was a bit windy when we went for a ride. There were a couple of moments when the cable car actually shook because of the strong gusts. Plus, we were over water at the time and we both couldn't swim. Hahaha Hay naku.
hmmm... i'd been tagged several times before but had been too lazy to take it up, heheh. will try, though... ;p
Miki,
That's ok, Pards. :) Only when you have the time. Will an incentive that's financial in nature help motivate you? Hahaha
thank you for spreading some love and peace around! kids in my contry and many other more need such words and feelings!
Hi Zari,
You're very welcome. Glad to be of help and glad to be a part of such a noble effort. Thanks for the visit too. :) Take care.
