Learning from Wisdom of Ants
There are four small creatures,
wisest of the wise they are—
Ants—frail as they are,
get plenty of food in for the winter;
Proverbs 30
The Foundation for Life may seem small and frail like the ants, when put beside the big and well connected non-profits in the world, but with integrity and hardwork, we aim to work to provide in between the cracks where others fail to see.
Like the Ant, small but potent, the Foundation is not to be dismissed with a sweep of the hand. While it is yet "summer" we are in the process of looking for "supplies" to stock up for the times ahead, when the needs arise.
Before the the cold season arrives from end October to February in Thailand, the Foundation is already gathering donations and networking in preparation or the coming months. Volunteers have been contacted and some are already making arrangements to help with the collection and distribution of warm clothings for the season. MT and his family (who committed to volunteer in this area on a 2 yearly basis) has already gathered his relatives both in Singapore and Malaysia, and are preparing for their trip in the coming months.
MT comments, "It is a priviledge to be able to interact and touch the lives of these people, and in fact, my family and I have RECEIVED more than what we have given, in ways that money cannot buy, and my children have learnt empathy and kindness in the whole process! Thanks to the Foundation! "
Any help and donations coming in during this period will be greatly appreciated, as it will increase our outreach for the needy.
We want to thank all donors for your perserverance, kindness and partnership with us all these years, that has helped to sustain our work and ministry to the less fortunate in Thailand.
Blessings to you!
