Just a thought :)

I love my socks, I really do.  But there are some that I hardly wear and feel that it's time to sock em' to some other luckier owners :) I've got two here; one which Ronald would die to have and another, an electrifying blue that absolutely zaps when paired with black ;)

What to do with used 'ang pow'?

If you're an avid traveller, then this is the perfect idea for you.  I usually keep all my notes and coins in the same pouch.  Albeit organised, but still cumbersome when I have to pick out the right currency when I'm beckoned to travel.  I keep the Japanese Yen in a separate wallet altogether to save trouble, but the rest was just... :S urgh, especially when it's difficult to differentiate between Cambodian and Thai coins :P

So, here you go.  I'm reusing the 'ang pow' packets from last Chinese New Year to categorise them into countries.  The packets are deep enough to also keep coins, so there you go :) No more picking the wrong notes and getting stranded in a foreign land!

*tada*

New business model.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick update.  As of March 17th, 2012, we've decided to split the sales proceed to 70:30.  70% of the proceeds will be used for charity while 30% will be used to cover any operational fee to maintain this project.  To be honest with you, I'm not sure if this is an optimum split, but we will see.  As we've discussed before, in order for this project to grow into long-term sustainability, it cannot survive on 100% donation.  I hope you guys understand and will continue supporting The Good Samaritan's vision :) I'm thinking of revamping the website to optimize its array of wonderful products-for-a-good-cause.  So I hope if sales are good, we'll get to redesign this website faster.  But if you're a Good Samaritan yourself and would like to donate your skills to us, we'll be eternally grateful! :D Please be in touch!

Also, I've updated my cause here if you want to check it out.  But, what doesn't change is transparency :) Thanks much guys!

We've been nominated for DiGi's WWWOW Awards 2012!

Amidst the busy schedule, it's really nice to get some good news in between :)

The Good Samaritan Shop has been nominated as the "MOST INSPIRING INTERNET FOR GOOD AWARD 2012 in DiGi's WWWOW awards for the year 2012!" - italic from organizer.

Wowee.

Thank you.  Again!

The last time, we did not win in the Social Media Awards, only came in as finalist.  But it was good.  And not long after, this ;)

I think it's not so much of the award, but I'm glad someone thought this blog is inspiring.  And that's really what we want to create.  Inspiration so that change can take place, anywhere and everywhere by whomever.

Will keep you guys posted.  Thank you so much!

KONY 2012. We can change the world. Not me, not you, WE.

We've seen people do it for Egypt, for Haiti, for Japan tsunami.  We've seen how people can do good out of social media and we will see how it can be done to bring an international war criminal to justice, even though we may have never heard of Uganda.  Because when people come together, there is power.  This is one campaign that... shouldn't even be called a campaign.  The word campaign seems such a small narrow idea that simply cannot hold the greatness of such cause.  It's a social movement.  A movement that aims to bring a tsunami of hope that would change the world.  God, we have hope.

So let us pledge yours and my support and stop Kony's hideous war crime and let live the children that he has abducted and held captive.  If you really think about it, seriously, we can do anything.  But the most important thing is, we chose to do good.

The Good Samaritan x Boo = Freedom House project.

Look at this face.  How can you not respond to his beckon?  Besides, it's for an extremely important cause.  There were countless documentaries which I have watched talking about domestic abduction in China, India, everywhere.  People even though well into their adult age, have been tricked into slavery and prostitution.  Seriously... I may sound bi-polar because I believe in competition in growth but at the same time I also strongly feel about human rights equality.  My mantra is; if you're gonna have a fair fight, pick an equal.  Fighting the weak only only goes to show that you're in fact, much weaker than them.  So help me, help Boo, help those who have been saved from slavery and those who are still a victim of human trafficking here.

Watch more about this sad situation:

The Good Samaritan Shop has donated RM714.60, approximately USD230 to the Freedom House project  and would like to thank everyone one of you for making this happen :) Let's keep on changing the world, one cause at a time!
