Hope for Everyone! I want YOU to join in!

I've never been an activist, and I am rarely one to champion causes. I mostly try to avoid sob stories and tragic laments of others, because (a) the stories tend to be too predictable like the sob stories that make it to 'Wowowee,' (b) I can't tell if they're scamming or ripping me off like the street beggars that make the daily rounds at traffic-prone intersections, and (c) I feel helpless and inept when my contribution only alleviates (not solves) problems.

But I am making an exception this one time.

I'm supporting a cause that brings hope to kids - to enlighten them through education, to uplift them through livelihood skills training, and to (literally) light their way through technological empowerment. It's called the Samsung Hope project, and I invite everyone to join me in this program supporting less privileged youths.

The program works like this: Samsung has already committed a large donation to three (3) beneficiaries - ATRIEV, Don Bosco Foundation, and Knowledge Channel. However, Samsung is giving away the jackpot (more or less a cool million or so) to the beneficiary that garners the most number for "pledges" or votes in the Samsung Hope website. It doesn't ask much anyway; just your time and your pledge. I strongly suggest getting to know their causes before moving forward. (Just google it, hehe)
