The other is that more often than not, such events lack volunteers or donations or worse, both. And behind the bright, encouraging smiles that members of NGOs don during for the benefit of everyone else, there rests a constant struggle with trying to make ends meet. Obtaining sufficient funds is a formidable task, and they’ve faced rejections left, right and center in their quest for the greater good. Some might even say that out of all those fighting for causes that they believe in, they are the most jaded. They have watched their wards get thoroughly rejected for apparently being lesser beings than everyone else. They have had to regrettably leave out some of the underprivileged from receiving donations- simply because there wasn’t enough money to go around. They have even seen what supposed “parents” have done to their own children, and vice versa. The list goes on, and yet charitable attitude has yet to completely permeate our society. That is not to say that we Malaysians are coldhearted. Far from it! But we do need to work on our empathy, and remember that people other than our family and friends do exist. Just how often have we heard during the month of December that Christmas is the time to give? It’s a nice message, and I’m certain that many of us sincerely do wish others well- but just how much of that is lip service? There cannot just be kind thoughts and well wishes. There needs to be action as well. After all, action speaks louder than words. So I ask again, as the New Year approaches with the promise of a new beginning and onslaught of well-meaning resolutions, are we really as kind as we say we are? BEHIND THE COLUMN To Malaysia, with Love is brought to you <strong>by</strong> our very own Digital Content Writer, Melissa Kartini. When not occupied with her multitude of interests, she tries to partake in as many charity work and events as possible. She is also currently involved in a positive thought-sharing project that hopes to make people more aware of social issues that exist in the world. Photo Credits to our Bloggerati @kimberzilla
