Dear fellow teachers and
friends,
Christmas is the season of
loving and sharing. This year, I would
like to focus on children and their basic needs, and would invite all of you to
join me in giving a special gift this Christmas.
A good friend of mine works
at a small center in Kuala Lumpur that serves as school for more than 100 Myanmar
refugee children, ages 6-17. The
Malaysian government does not recognise refugee status and these children do
not have the right to education here.
You may wish to visit the center’s website to better understand their
needs - www.myhelpcommunity.blogspot.com.
I was inspired to raise funds for these
kids this Christmas and I’m calling my project "Teachers Gifting Food and
Education". I am making it my goal to speak to at least 100 teachers of any
discipline, be it Sunday school, art or taichi, and I would like to ask that each of you would
in turn speak to 10 other people to help raise money for this center through
the sale of my books. Every dollar made in profit will go towards the
kids.
In the current economic situation, $1
may not go very far. But in this part of the world, for $1 a child
eats for a day. At $365,
that child eats for a year. But with $3,650 the whole school eats for a
year. So my goal is to raise US$3,650
this November and December so that we can buy food and notebooks for the kids.
If you are thinking of buying books as
Christmas presents for friends and family, please consider getting my books
too. You might wish to print out a copy
of this letter to be included with the gift so that your loved ones know where
the money is going.
The books are available on Amazon.com
for US$3.99, and on Amazon UK for £2.90.
However, these are ebooks for Kindle:
