Consider making a donation to help needy students.

Update: A good deed to end 2016.

--------------------------
From time to time, I would blog about how we should try to give back to society.

As I believe in the importance of education and how it would help not just an individual but also his family and future generations to have a better life, I have made yearly donations to NUS University Wide Bursaries.




This year, a significant portion of the money collected from organising "Evenings with AK and friends" and my other public appearances have found their way into the charity fund I am building.


Ultimately, I would still like to set up a foundation to help financially disadvantaged students in future but that is many years in the making. 

In the meantime, I will continue to make donations to causes which I find meaningful.

If you would like to help needy undergraduates as well, you might want to consider making a donation too.


The form can be downloaded here or you could make a donation online with a credit card here.

No amount of donation is too small. 

Every dollar counts.





In fact, I would be more impressed with a $10 donation from a regular office worker than a $50 donation from a successful millionaire business owner, for example. 

I am sure you know what I mean.

So, don't feel shy to make a small donation.






Helping to educate a person is really 功德无量 (which means "service to mankind and benefits beyond measure").

An unexpected gift. A pleasant surprise.

A new pen for the new year. :)
