I made this Donation Drive Campaign last March 26, 2011. Quite a long run eh? Honestly, I had only saved up to Php 1000 (roughly US $20). My Malaysian friend, also a co-admin, is willing to donate also.
Maybe a lot of you is wondering what is this all about. Then, let me re-post my FB note about it. For any clarifications, suggestions and negative reactions, feel free to send me a message via Yahoo Mail (wat_wataholics@yahoo.com), via
Facebook Fan Page and/or via my personal
Facebook Account .
The
first NOTE was entitled:
One with WaT... One with Japan... One with the World...
~DONATION DRIVE CAMPAIGN for the victims in JAPAN~
I am calling every one of you. We need to lend our strength and help to our brothers and sisters living in Japan. I am planning to take actions to show our LOVE for Japan. But to make this into action, I need your cooperation. Please READ BY HEART my preposition below.
Monetary donation is the fastest way to help, but the problem is, not all of us can afford to give a large amount. Take for an instance the American Red Cross. The minimum donation amount is US $10. If it will be converted to PhP, it will cost almost PhP450. That amount of money, for me, is already big! It will take 1 month for me to save that kind amount of money from my allowance. So, rather stressing ourselves on saving that kind of amount of money, we suggest a "Per-Group-Donation" style. What is a Per-Group-Donation style? First, we need VOLUNTARY REPRESENTATIVES in every COUNTRY. YES!!! In every country. That representative will be the one who will collect the donated money. You can donate whatever amount you want. And for everybody's convenience, you can donate with your own currency. For example, here in the Philippines, those who wants to donate, can give any amount of money even if it is less than Php450 [US $10]. A clearer example is,
ME gives an amount of Php100, then 5 WaTAHOLICS give Php150, Php100, Php200, Php100, Php150 respectively. All in all, the money on hand is Php 800 [Php100 + Php150 + Php100 + Php200 + Php100 + Php150]. Afterwards, I will exchange it to US $, making it roughly as US $17.77. See?? We got past the minimum donation amount. What is great is that, it is bigger than US $10 and we have other person help Japan. ^^
Maybe, some Filipino WaTAHOLIC will ask, "How can we send it? Especially if it is less than Php500." The bank also has a minimum deposit charge right?? So, I encourage everyone. If you are just 5 meters or 2 kilometers away from one another, you can do meet ups..^^ Same in other countries. I know some of you know one another. Or if you can, you can ask from your classmates. Give some Coins-Campaign for Japan. Big money starts at small ones, right??
So simple ne??? If you really wanna help, you can think of any ideas in order to help out! All I pray is that, most of us, ALL of us will HELP on this campaign. Sending gifts for WaT, spending money to buy STUFFS for WaT... Any single doubt or regret never came across my mind. I even included your greetings right??? *laughs* So, I thought of, instead giving them alone, why not use it for a better cause?? For sure, WaT will be much much more happy if we use our money for the most in need. Don't you think so too??? ^^ But of course!!! I won't let this chance to slip away in order to show our LOVE for WaT!!! Aside from giving voluntary donations, I ask everyone (those who will donate) to send your short message or signature or photo or video of support to your country representative. Each country representative will collect them and send it to me through mail scans. Including the proof of donated money. Please make it short, brief and encouraging. Include "Ganbare Nippon" too.
MESSAGE EXAMPLE
Ganbare Nippon! We Pray for you! ♥ Kamiiru of Philippines!!!
We will make a video out of it. With that, we just don't tell the world how we love WaT, how we support Japan, but also, to show the WORLD that the WORLD still cares. Everyone taking action. Everyone giving donation. Everyone supporting one another. Everyone showing love to one another is a great step to start LIVING ONE WITH THE WORLD!!! No one is an island! That is why the world consists of many islands. Quantity is nothing compared to QUALITY. We are not just merely going to give money. We are gonna start QUALITY LIVING AND LOVING WITH THE WORLD! ALL OF US! One with WaT... One with Japan... One with the World!!!
For those who are willing to show your support for this campaign [One with WaT... One with Japan... One with the World..] please search for me in FB Kamiiru Lim, send me a mail with a subject of [One with WaT... One with Japan... One with the World] and with a message of your NAME, COUNTRY, and AGE.
We need to finalize the REPRESENTATIVES on or before the first week of April. We need to act fast. A lot of our brothers and sisters awaits for our help. So please. Give a heart, not a mind. Hontoni arigato gozaimasu! Yoroshiku onegaishimasu! *bows*
Please continue to pray for Japan and for all of us. Prayer is still our best weapon.
