But as we grew up, we easily find ourselves distanced from our &#8216;heroic&#8217; ambition. Had a chat with an old friend recently about our supposed big dream, about how we drifted so far apart from what we wanted to do. Now, we are all tangled with bills, work and everyday nitty-gritty stuff, feeling helpless about really heeding the cries of the world. Nonetheless, there are always ways to help if we really want to. Even if we are tied down with our mundane life, we can still contribute from the comfort of our seats.<\/p>\n<p>These are some organisations that help the really needy.<\/p>\n<p>We can :<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ffl.org\/ffl_donation_sponsorchild.php\">Sponsor an\u00a0orphan child.<\/a> (Sponsor a tsunami orphan in Sri Lanka at Gokulam)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theliteracysite.com\/clickToGive\/home.faces?siteId=6\">Give\u00a0them proper education.<\/a> (Just a click a day)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.givecleanwater.org\/donate\/\">Give clean water.<\/a> (Because dirty water kills)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ffl.org\/ffl_donation.php\">Give violence-free food.<\/a> (Sponsor Vegan\/Vegetarian food)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/solar-aid.org\/\">Give clean and renewable power.<\/a> (Fight both poverty and climate change)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.care2.com\/click-to-donate\/rainforest\/\">Save\u00a0rainforests.<\/a> (Just a click a day)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/acres.org.sg\/donate.html\">Save animals in\u00a0distress.<\/a> (Be animals conscious)<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least&#8230;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.us.tzuchi.org\/usa\/home.nsf\/other\/k12063\">Help them\u00a0to help others.<\/a> (The foundation dedicates itself in the fields of\u00a0medicine, education, environmental protection, international relief\u00a0work and the establishment of the world\u2019s third largest marrow donor\u00a0registry.
