received an email from Weng Fai the other day and he was telling me about their cause and it’s dedication to helping orphans, raising awareness, getting funding for homes and etc.
and honestly, when i was reading the email, i had this warm feeling that i find hard to put into words.
for me, being involved with the orphanage and stuff, i’m beginning to see and meet more and more people who are generous with their time and energy when it comes to fighting for a cause that is close to their hearts.
this only goes to show, in even plainer sight, that the universe has a balance
that for every man who is ignorant, there is another who is compassionate, passionate and free-willing.

i really respect people, especially youths, who are willing to give up their time and energy into fighting for a better tomorrow.
it doesnt have to be something big.
it doesnt have to be something expensive.
its the time and effort that counts.
the kids do not see the money.
they barely even feel it’s presence.
what they need and feel is our time, our patience, and our guidance.

of course funds are necessary to get by.
but our presense in their lives are the things that would make a difference.
little things like spending an afternoon playing with them, or giving them tuition, or just listening to them.
thats what matters.
because the kids mirror us.
we’re somehow or rather their role models.

well, enough about my thoughts cos it’ll go on and on for hours.

below are the details to the Young Visionaries.

Young Visionaries is a continuity of a project born in year 2003 which focuses on bringing better changes to the less fortunate children in orphanages and shelters within the Klang Valley. It consists of three main components:1) To bring in foreign interns to work for the orphanages/shelters for 2 months through our wide AIESEC database.2) To organise weekly activities with the children from the 3 orphanages/shelters adopted by our initiative.3) To assist the orphanages/shelters in their fund raising activities.

AIESEC, on the other hand, is actually a global, not-for-profit organization run by students and recent graduates which provides a platform for young people to develop their potential in the hopes of producing a positive impact on society, and Young Visionaries is a project initiated by AIESEC in Universiti Malaya.
True to the cause of our initiative we are working hard on spreading awareness about our initiative and also about the plight of underprivileged children in general. In addition to that we hope to get interested volunteers to assist us should we need them in upcoming fund raising activities organised by the orphanages/shelters. Thus, I would like to ask if you will be interested to help promote our initiative through your website. Given the large number of visitors to your website we hope that our aims can be achieved. If you’re interested to know more about our initiative and also about what we do in general you can visit us at http://youngvisionaries.wordpress.com.
If you have any queries regarding our initiative or AIESEC in general, please feel free to ask me anytime.
Thank you for your attention, and I hope to hear from you soon.
