I was very honored to become a volunteer to work for charity work project. The build project was organized by Habitat for Humanity. Nearly 3,000 Habitat for Humanity volunteers dedicated 166 homes in Thailand, Vietnam, China, Laos and Cambodia just within 2009. The houses were built or repaired as part of Habitat’s annual Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project, where the former U.S. president and first lady helped raise awareness about the need for affordable housing and built homes in partnership with low-income earners.
I've learned about this foundation through my buddy Daniel Wu and 24 herbs. March this year, they volunteer to help re-build sichuan after the earth quake from last year. But I wasn't able to go cause of my filming work in Thailand. But this time, I will not miss my chance to do this charity work that is so meaningful.
Every time when a disaster hits, people around the world gather and donate money to a charity organization, or red cross, etc. I was one of them who always help out by donating money. Although I can not be a hundred percent sure where the money ends up afterwards. How many cash or materials will be given to the ones that needs them? I really don't know.
I always believe by doing actual work is the most meaningful and truthful way to help out. I got so much satisfaction from working hard, laying down each brick until we end up with a solid brick wall. This is actually what I've done this trip in Sichuan, China this time.
The work project took place at Qion Lai city in Sichuan last week. We were building 3 blocks of six stories apartments. Daniel wu, Lisa S. and Ken Wong was there for the build too. Four of us build for 2 1/2 days. I was so happy to see so many volunteers around the world helping out at the work project this time. There were 200+ volunteers working very hard trying to help families who can not afford to live in a normal home. While the last day we had the honored to be invited by habitat to have lunch with the former US president Jimmy Carter.
