Felix Ker's blog

My apologies, this is a delayed post. Okay, now read on.

I find ourselves very lucky. If you’re able to be here reading my blog, I’m pretty sure you’ve got a decent Internet connection and at least a computer.

Some facts inside the brochure

Child’s Name: YANG, Xiao Dong
Birthday: 16/01/04 (That makes him 4 years old!)
Photo: Cute!
Health: Satisfactory
Sibling(s): 1 brother

Xiao Dong is not in school yet. He doesn’t help out with house chores as he’s too young.

Both parents are self-employed as farmers. According to statistics, farmers (in Yongsheng, North-West Yunnan) account for 93.7% of the population. The annual per capita income is RMB 608 (US$89 on 6 Nov 08) and per capita food consumption is 397kg.

Do check out the brochure by clicking it to enlarge.

Updates

Xiao Dong actually got his senior to help him write me a letter. I’ll share it soon. Give me time to actually do the posting!

My target

I do not only want to sponsor a child. I would love to sponsor children. More and more!

Thank you for giving me some attention. Without your attention, this child won’t be sponsored. Again, I must repeat that you (readers) are part of this Sponsor a child project.

As you can read, I’m waiting for processing to be done before I finally start having a sponsored child!

Why am I doing this?

Who doesn’t want more money to spend? I would love to have more bags and more clothes but the thought of some kids that really need our help. I decided to start helping them, as much as I can.

Why am I telling you so much?

You may wonder what I do with the money I make from this blog. Not alot, but definitely enough for my hosting fees and to support a child.

As for my own living expenses, I’ve got my father to support me until I finish school.

Why World Vision?

The best thing I like about them: They “teach a child to fish, and not use my donated funds to them fishes“.

Next update.. Until I receive the welcome package from WorldVision!

It’s been some time since I last wrote something here. Time flies but I totally cannot recall what I did in the past month. Maybe playing a MMPORG (Tibia), going for classes, spending time making my student pass and maybe sleeping. Ok, back to the topic.

I have advertisements above almost every entry on this blog and they’re making money for me every month. I may not receive a cheque every month, but its still sufficient for my hosting fees.

After giving some thought, I’ve decided to use part of my earnings to sponsor a child with World Vision. World Vision will help a child on my behalf. Wonderful, isn’t it?

When?

As soon as I receive my next cheque (should arrive somewhere early September), I will deposit it into my bank account and start doing something!

Future

As soon as I find myself earning more (receiving a bigger cheque amount) from my advertising partners (Currently Google Adsense and Advertlets), I will consider sponsoring more children.

Well, that’s what I foresee.

Updates

I will be posting updates about this under “Sponsor a Child” category. Check back some time soon!
