Apparently, staff of Wema Bank
had given up a day’s worth of their salary to help 10 people who
require immediate financial assistance. It didn’t just stop there, the
management of the bank also agreed to double the amount raised from
staff.
This really caught my attention, especially as I did not expect such from a bank. I went on to visit the site – www.purplenectar.info
to read the stories of these 10 people they want to help. Wow. I was
touched. I was so glad I could drop some messages for this people on the
site (by the way, they said they would print all the messages people
dropped into a card and present it to the beneficiaries).
It
made me realise that there are soo many people out there suffering who
need help, not only financially but even emotionally. It also made me
realise that a person can be living a normal life today and tomorrow
sickness comes to destroy everything.
It
is important for each of us to be prayerful and to also show love to
people who need it now. Even a call can go a long way in encouraging
people. The people who are ill or financially less-privileged did not
choose it.
