Calling for volunteers - 10 April

[John Teoh]

Dear All

I recall a conversation I had with Peng Eik, Ganbatte Japan IC.
"Seb, everyone has an agenda. What is yours?"
"I just want to help Japan."
"Mine is to help people."

World Peace

Dear All

CS is the largest online community but it holds no monopoly in helping others. Ganbatte Japan is not the only nor "true" way to help Japan. We should not confuse a no-show as an unwillingness to contribute.

I recall a conversation I had with Peng Eik, Ganbatte Japan IC.
"Seb, everyone has an agenda. What is yours?"
"I just want to help Japan."
"Mine is to help people."

Like minds come together and we attract similar spirits.
Everyone who has been reading, spreading our cause among family and friends and volunteering do share the same beliefs Peng Eik and I. That in times of crisis, we can cast aside pride and prejudice to serve others. A time of need equates a time for action. We help NOT because we are noble and better. We serve because we believe we cannot be happy while others suffer.

I personally know many CSers (not involved in Ganbatte Japan) who are working very hard to help Japan. They are organising fund raising events. Some are auctioning prints. Others donating directly. Thus their level of activity in the Ganbatte Japan movement matters little. What matters is they are helping in their own way. Our methods may differ but our commitments are the same. We are proud of them and together we are Clubsnap.

We may never know nor recognise everyone (including those in Ganbatte Japan) accordingly for their contributions to the rebuilding of Japan. That is unimportant. Know that our efforts will and have made a difference. The knowledge that simple ideas can ignite hope in the darkest hours will be reward enough.

Well said Sebastian, i feel the CSers who turned up till date did so for the right reasons. A great event so far.

Different people has different agenda and different ways to help. Without having the full picture, let's not jump into any conclusions and also, it is not for us to judge.

We should do what ourself think is right and it is all about personal satisfaction and personal pride that we have helped.
