Origins
Posted On Monday, July 7, 2008 at at 8:53 PM by AstreaThe creator of this blog is named Astrea. That's not actually her given name, although she's been using it long enough to be called that anyway. She's a Malaysian high school student who moved to Perth, Australia this year to study because she thinks that education here is better and also because she feels that it's where she's supposed to be.
She spends a lot of her spare time and not-so-spare time (like when she's supposed to be studying for exams) thinking about world issues and other deep things that teens her age would not care to spend time musing over. Because of that, her personal blog is filled with thousands of words as opposed to the very few pictures she has ever posted.
She created this blog because her personal one has started to become too clustered with buttons and links to non-profit websites which donate to society. She's going to place every link and button she finds on this blog and hopes that people will visit regularly and click them. She plans (but we shall see about that because she is a great procrastinator and still hasn't made posts on topics that she promised to blog about on her personal blog) to feature websites and organisations and any world issues which she thinks needs to be brought to attention of the general web surfer.
She also hopes that fellow bloggers will steal the links and buttons to put onto their own blog.
She believes that every person in this world can make a positive difference if they try. Based on that, she's telling you that you can make a difference by visiting this page regularly and clicking on the buttons to give free donations to people in underprivileged countries. She agrees that it's a bother to visit so many sites all the time which is why she's bringing all the links together onto one page. She's not asking you to click all of them at one go, but it would help if you clicked one button a day, don't you agree?
She would like to point out that if one bothers to check their email every day, then there is no reason why they can't click buttons to give free food, water, rice etc.
Lastly, she would like to thank you (if you did) for taking the time and bothering to read all the above.
P.S. Her personal blog, if you're interested can be found at:
