SILRA Home Needs Your Help

Pictures of volunteering at SILRA Home will be up soon.

People are often mistaken that leprosy is highly contagious and this is not true. Today, we have very effective drugs to treat this disease and we should not let the fear of contracting the disease stop us from befriending these lonely aged people. Happiness and smiles are contagious so please play your part to contribute to the society and show these people some love and concern. If time is not on your side, try to help them if your financials allow. Since 2003 after they moved to their current premise over at Buangkok Green, overheads are way higher. Any contributions would be welcomed.

We managed to collect enough money to offer them a wonderful catered spread and also took them out for a walk. We take it for granted that we can just open the door and walk out but these old people have to wait for volunteers to come during the weekends to bring them out for their weekly walk. On a personal note, I enjoyed myself tremendously and would do so again if time permits.

I just came back from "Story-telling Meister's" baby girl's full month party. We were really uncreative and all of us ended up buying him vouchers but having said that, it's probably the most practical choice. All the diaper shopping is probably going to strip this man's bank account in no time. Like any new parent, you could almost tell the joy from looking at his silhouette. And as a friend, I genuinely feel happy for him.

Attituder and myself have been sitting here next to each other msn-ing each other. When two girls are absolutely bored, they start to do stupid things and we're perfect examples. Heading out for not so early, fattening supper soon. Girls...
