Generous People Who Change My Life

Last week I went to my first fundraising training. It was in-house training but the speaker, Randy Foret flew all the way from Virginia Beach, USA to Lippo Cikarang just to train the four ladies in my team, and three other people from Thailand, Cambodia, and Myanmar for three days.

What I am saying is that was 'the most English' three days in my life. Yap, I know I am not that good in English. :(

(If you just think about asking me ' then why I write the whole post of my blog in English', I'll explain later.)

But the limitless of English ability didn't take away the excitement to learn. This guy has so many experiences dealing with major donor. Plus, he is a major donor who approached to work with CBN International. My mouth stay opened and can't stop wow-ing all the data and keynote he presented.

Well, it's a very valuable experience for me. I do love fundraising and really want to know all about it.

And let me share what makes me do so. I am kind of fundrasing product.

If you ever heard about Compassion, I was one of their sponsored child.
I believe that now I can have a better education and life because some fundraising guy of Compassion doing their job and my sponsor just walked by and looked at my picture then they decided to sponsor me and change my entire life.

My first sponsor is a group of four high school girls from Washington DC. They collect their money so I can buy my book and pay school tuition.

My last sponsor is a married couple who sponsor 15 children and still want to give away their money and send me to college.

I mean, there are generous people out there.

And being one of them might be more difficult than finding them regarding to my job at fundraising department.

Generosity.

"It is more blessed to give than to receive." Acts 20:35

Ah. Did I explain why I keep writing my blog in English?

Because I am shaping my English as I have a big dream to fly over to Australia and America to find those generous people and hug them to say Thank you and how grateful I am for having them as part of my life.

And just in case if that famous verse can not get out of your mind after you read this post, go check Compassion website and find the cutest boy or girl, send them to school and change their life. :)

What really matters

It's 1 am and I am so tired.

My workdays have been so overwhelming.

Tired of trying to beat myself. I don't want to call myself a workaholic but today I have to confess that I am a bad one.

Yes. I never asking for a job promotion but that's what happened. And wheter I like it or not, my ability to make a balance life between family and career is stretched.

Thanks God I found a piece of encouragement on internet today.
