This is something that was started by my daughter nearly 6-7 years ago, when she gave up crackers, instead using the money saved to buy something relevant & even share with others.
On & off over the years, we as a family have done sharing with less fortunate, however in spite of everything, I have been an excessive Text user during the festive season.
Unfortunate, it is difficult to change people, it is easier to change oneself, so this year I have decided to put my Money where my mouth is. With the support of my wife & daughter I have decided to contribute the following amounts to my wife’s favorite charity “Educating the Girl Child”:
Gift received Rs. 100/- per gift
Blog Comments/Calls Rs. 5/- per comment
SMS Wishes 0.50/- per text
Wishes on FB/Twitter/Email 0.25/- for every wish (Not Spammers:))
This is for the dates between 15 – 19th October 2009. And YES I shall post the details, keep updating them.
I know that the amounts may not be too large, BUT one has to begin somewhere. And I seek your support, please prove the power of Social Media, Networking & Relationship.
@ranjan – Thank you & wish you the same. It can only boom, if you also spread the word. God Bless
@atulkarmarkar Thank you & welcome aboard! It is you & all others will create the flood
