Saturday morning, a bright and sunny morning, where most people are still under their comfy blanket, we are out in the neighbourhood doing something meaningful =)

2 cars, travelling around different neighbourhood, different household, all hoping to collect as much newspapers as possible. Seeing the flight of stairs, with huge stack of newspaper in your hands is no joke. Though tiring, but the thought that our small contributions would be able to help many others out there, make us persevere.

Life is about more than what we own; giving is a blessing too.

Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as you ever can. –John Wesley

After travelling around Singapore for one whole day, the sense of satisfaction I felt when I saw the weighing machine reading 1400kg was beyond words. With LOTS of help from our family and friends, we managed to collect 1.4 tonnes of old newspapers and magazines! That.is.unbelieveable.

We do not have to be very influential to be able to do something good for the society. Every small contribution can help in a way or another. All we need is the determination, perseverance and unity. Once again, we have created a miracle with our ONERBKD spirit :)
