happiness in some child's life.
 Or provide shelter and warmth to a family who lives on the
streets by volunteering to help in building them a home.

help the mentally ill, drug dependents, prisoners, disabled
people, and Orang Asli to develop a better living condition.
Why not spend a little time helping others, because in the end,
what goes around comes around.

someone else's life better or they made a change in their
