Ok, maybe not that rich or not even rich. Maybe having enough is fine with me. Enough meaning we can pay our bills on time without killing ourselves on work, having our own house, having our own car, having a stable business & career, having emergency funds and savings.
So when I reach that point in my life (and I will), I want to do the following things:
1. TEACH STREET CHILDREN FOR FREE. I’ll coordinate with barangay chairmans & different churches. I’ll get my musician friends to help me teach and we’ll get sponsors. It would be a great opportunity for them to appreciate music and for them to be far away from drugs and other violence on the streets.
2. Buy a lot of rain coats and during rainy season, go around the streets and give it away to people who needs them. We’ve been to a stage where we almost lost our hope but people (especially our friends — yes, more than our family) helped us and I couldn’t express how thankful I am for them. So I promised myself that I will never their help for granted and do the same thing to others. Manila streets are not ready for a rainy season. Even those with houses are not prepared. Beggars don’t have any shelter. They use cardboards so that they won’t get wet. At least with raincoats, they are somehow protected.
3. Go to the HOME FOR THE AGED regularly — tell stories, sing and perform with them, play majong and cards and many more. I love older people but sometimes I feel that some children don’t show their appreciation that much to them. They have a few years to live and I want to give them good memories. It hurts me to see them lonely, unappreciated and unwanted.
These are my TOP 3. I know in time I’ll have a longer list. I hope I can have the chance to do these things especially while I am still young.
I know papa God will guide me in this life. I won’t make money be my hindrance in doing these things. I will work hard so that my family could have enough. When we have enough, it would be our time to give back.
This world needs healing. Soon everything will set in to place.

Aww. Thanks Tamara! That’s really nice of you! Let’s make this world a better place to live in. *hugs*
Yes, we can do that for sure! 🙂 🙂

You have a Heart of Gold, my Dear Tep! Love and Blessings. 🙂
A nice thought. But I don’t think God wants us to wait till we are financially secure to share our gifts w/ others. Surely teaching street children or spending time w/ the elderly can be done regardless of the size of one’s bank account. ❤
