關於 why do charity work ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

I grew up having simple food on the table but never hungry.

I recall mum heading to the Asian market and whilst the Ang Mohs preferred meaty meats, she would take the bones and leftover “scraps” to buy (cheaper) and make broth.

There was a stream nearby that had an abundance of watercress and she would pick them to add on to the soup or fry them with garlic.

That’s why I’m a soup and steam sort of gal and was never exposed to the likes of steak, burgers and more flavourful dishes like curry and sambal which was a typical Asian dish.

Cupcakes and chocolates were treats to us, as snacks would be fruits like apples and strawberries which mom would bring home after “work”. As an apple picker, sometimes, the produce won’t “make” it into the Grade A section and workers were allowed to purchase them for cheap.

I grew up feeling the slight deprivation as I had a sweet tooth. Desserts were eaten slowly and mindfully and that is probably why I have an abundance of it at home, especially now with my Thermomix.

I am glad I have this weekly charity drive to focus on to help the vulnerable families hit by the looming pandemic. It makes me happy knowing I contributed something to such a great initiative by the team.

If you would like to help, do get in touch with Siamy Tan Xuenee or Jenny Cha. You can also choose to donate so we can continue to sustain this food drive.

God bless the team at The Community Hub.

📰 The dying teenager who wanted world peace and love

🀄 垂死少年但願世界和平愛相隨

📘《Ken的文法筆記 I.》即將出售(詳置頂貼文)

When Californian teenager Jeff Henigson was diagnosed with brain cancer and given two years to live, a children's charity granted him the wish of a lifetime. But Jeff didn't choose to go to Disneyland or meet his favourite footballer - Jeff just wanted world peace.

📌 人生無常，這篇文章主人翁就是一個例子。Jeff給診斷患有(diagnosed with) 腦癌(brain cancer)，他的一生中唯一願望(the wish of a lifetime)是世界和平(world peace)。

In the summer of 1986, 15-year-old Jeff Henigson was riding his bike to the local electronics shop to buy the last part for a "super laser" he'd been building, when he was hit by a van.

"It's coming in the opposite direction and she doesn't see me and just smashes right into me," Jeff says. "And I'm launched, like a rocket, 10 feet backwards. I land on the back of my head."

Jeff wasn't wearing a helmet, and was knocked unconscious. A few hours later, he woke up in hospital. He seemed to be OK, though, so he was discharged the same day.

📌 在1986年夏天，他騎自行車時發生意外，被廂形貨車 (van) 撞到，由於他沒有戴安全帽(helmet)，因此被撞到不省人事(knocked unconscious)。他幾個小時醒來，看似可以了，所以在同一天出院(discharged)。

But within a few weeks Jeff began having seizures and he returned to the hospital, this time to have a CT scan of his brain.

If it had shown injuries from the cycling accident, Jeff would not have been surprised. But the news was worse than that - the scan revealed a tumor.

"Two things went through my mind," Jeff says. "One was a plan to lose my virginity that summer. And let's just say that did not work out. The second was to complete my laser project."

📌 他在幾個星期内感到不舒服，回到醫院進行電腦斷層掃描(CT scan)，竟發現掃描顯示他有腫瘤(美: tumor 英: tumour)

Jeff was an ambitious teenager, whose dream was to work for Nasa. He believed that the best way to impress them was to build "the most amazing laser" which could bounce a beam off of a reflector that had been left on the moon by Apollo 11.

But the laser was also a way for him to bond with his father, a distant figure, who had served with the US Navy in World War Two.

📌 這段講述Jeff的夢想：為太空總署(NASA)工作。他希望建造一個激光器，令NASA對他留下好的印象。這個項目也是個與他爸爸建立緊密關係(bond with his father)的方法。

"I didn't know at the time if that was because of the war or something else. But my father was separate, emotionally, from the rest of us. And I thought, 'Here's this thing we have in common. This fascination with science. This fascination with space.' And that's why I pursued it."

Though Jeff's father never mentioned his experiences in the Pacific when the nuclear bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he would talk, at length, about nuclear weapons, the nuclear threat and the US's relationship with the USSR. And this seems to have had an impact on Jeff.

📌 Jeff解釋他跟爸爸的共同點是迷戀科學(fascination with science)、迷戀太空(fascination with space)。他爸爸詳盡地談及核武器(nuclear weapons)、核威脅(nuclear threat)以及美國跟蘇聯的關係(the US’s relationship with the USSR)，這對Jeff有影響。

"There was a fictional film in the early 1980s called The Day After. It was about the Soviet Union dropping nuclear bombs on the US. I was probably 11 years old, and I was scared out of my mind. I would often fall asleep at night and go straight into a nightmare about nuclear war," Jeff remembers.

Jeff hoped not only that he would get that dream job with Nasa, but that the organisation would start to work with the USSR rather than competing with it.

"Even when I was fairly young, I could see the potential for collaboration between the US and Soviet Union," he says. "It just never made sense to me that we were pointing nuclear weapons at each other, when we could be collaborating to do extraordinary things in space."

📌 Jeff 不但希望在NASA工作，而且希望NASA會開始跟蘇聯合作，在太空合作做非凡事情 (collaborating to do extraordinary things in space)。

PENGURUSAN AIR TERJUN SUNGAI PANDAN BODOH?

Tadi aku terbaca satu posting memaki hamun dan di share pulak posting tu oleh owner posting dalam beberapa group Kuantan. Kisahnya dia tak puas hati lah sebab kena charge lebih untuk piknik dan bila dia dah bentang tikar semua, pengurus waterfall datang minta dia pindah lokasi. Jadi dia angin.

Ok la. Aku pun banyak benda tak setuju juga dengan pengurusan air terjun sungai pandan ni (org kuantan panggil air terjun panching). Aku tengok komen orang kat posting dia pun bisa bisa juga setuju dan menghentam pengurusan. Tapi ada benda yang kita kena faham.

Kita orang Kuantan. Kita dah pernah rasa zaman masuk air terjun ni free. Jadi kita punya feeling tak sama dengan orang yang baru 2-3 kali datang. Org baru pun datang2 dah kena bayar dah tempat ni. So normal la kena bayar. Kita org lama je terasa sket. Gambang waterpark tiket rm30 pun org bayar. Zaman berubah. Kos bertambah.

Kita kena faham. Kenapa kena bayar? Entry fee kena bayar, piknik punya spot pun skrng dah kena bayar. Meh kita sembang fakta sket:

1. Selama aku datang air terjun pancing ni, tak pernah aku tengok waterfall ni kotor. Dari masa orang zaman 50 orang sehari masuk ke sini sampailah ke sekarang rasanya ada 200 org hari biasa dan 1000 hari cuti. Siapa kutip sampah?

Ko nak tengok waterfall yang free dan takde pengurusan jadi mcmana? Pergi Berkelah waterfall. Tengok sendiri. Sampai NGO kena pergi buat kerja amal kutip sampah dan clearkan.

Ko tengok pantai sepat yang takde pengurusan jadi macamana. Ko lepas anak kecik, kejap je dia dah ada alat utk main pasir guna botol, guna plastik mcm mcm. Kena rogol pantai tu sampai pokok pun tumbang dikerja dek org.

Jadi korang rasa nak menguruskan tempat tumpuan orang ramai ni mudah ke? Menguruskan tempat ni bukan sekadar kutip sampah je. Dia kena pastikan ko dengan keluarga ko tak meninggal juga. Tempat ko parking tikar tu mmg tempat kepala air turun! Sebab tu berpasir je dan takde pokok tumbuh situ. Ko nak mampus satu family? Sebab tu dia letak signboard jangan berkelah situ.

Tapi jumlah org masuk, saiz kawasan dan jumlah pekerja yang dia ada menghadkan pergerakan pemantauan pengurusan waterfall dari pergi cek setiap masa. Sebab tu ada je kekadang terlepas family park tikar piknik situ. Kang nak tambah orang kang kena tambah gaji dan dah tentu duit tu datang dari tiket korang. Kang naik lagi kang meroyan pulokkk.

2. Fasiliti punya hal. Ko banding la rm2 sekepala vs rm30 sekepala. Ko nak expect jamban macam gambang waterpark ke? Memang lah patut dia bagi kemudahan terbaik. Tapi kalau 1000 orang masuk keluar mmg lebam dan punah. Nak kena maintain. Buat yang sini, rebeh yang sana. Repair kat sini, rosak kat sana. Kita kena faham lah.

Aku secara peribadi bersyukur tempat yang aku sayang macam airterjun panching ni dijaga dengan sebaik yang termampu oleh orang swasta macam ni.

Aku tak rasa kerajaan negeri mampu nak bantu. Kalau kerajaan negeri nak betul2 promot tempat ni, lama dah kita ada jalan masuk elok ke tempat ni. Tapi hakikatnya skrng kita dok kongsi jalan kuari tu dari aku kecik sampai la ke tua.

Jadi apa yang ada sekarang ni kita kena promote dan jaga. Kuantan ni benda la ada sangat. 2-3 tempat ni jelah yang ada pun. Jadi jangan la keras keng sangat nak rosakkan reputasi tempat dan pengurusan ni.

Kalau kita rasa boleh buat lagi bagus tanpa cas, cuba gi lawan dekat pejabat hutan Pahang. Mintak air terjun tu ko yang urus. Tgk mcmana bleh la org mcm aku ni gi sana free takyah bayor tapi jamban standard gambang waterpark pastu sampah clear setiap masa.. ork?

Pasal air cetek, tengok video ni:

WATER MANAGEMENT OF SUNGAI PANDAN STUPID?

Just now I read a post scolding and shared the post by the owner of the post in several Kuantan groups. The story is he is not satisfied because he has to charge more for picnic and when he has presented the mat, the waterfall manager came and asked him to move to the location. So he's the wind.

Okay, okay. I also disagree with the management of Sungai Pandan waterfall (Kuantan people call Panching Falls). I see other people's comments on their posts can also agree and hit the management. But there are things we need to understand.

We are Kuantan people. We've felt the time when entering the waterfall is free. So we have a feeling not the same as someone who just came 2-3 times. New people come and have to pay for this place. So it's normal to pay. We are old people feel sketched. Spring waterpark tickets are paid for RM30. Times change. Cost increases.

We have got to understand. Why is it getting paid? Entry fees can be paid, even a picnic has a spot now it's paid. Almost we do sketch facts:

1. As long as I came to this fishing waterfall, I've never seen this waterfall dirty. From the time when people were 50 people a day entering here until now it feels like there are 200 normal days and 1000 days off. Who picks up trash?

How do you want to see the waterfall that is free and has no management? Going to Picnic waterfall. See for yourself. Until the NGO has to go to do charity work collecting garbage and clearing up.

You look at the sepat beach that has no management so how. After you were small, in a while he already had the tool to play sand using bottles, use plastic like that. Got raped by the beach until the tree fell down at other s' work.

So do you guys feel like managing people's focus is easy? Managing this place is not just collecting garbage. He has to make sure you and your family don't die. The place where you parked the mat is the place where the head of the water falls! That's why it's sandy and there's no tree growing there. Do you want to die in your family? That's why he put the signboard and don't picnic there.

But the number of people entering, the size of the area and the number of employees he has limit the waterfall management monitoring movement from going check it out every time. That's why there's only some times missing the family park picnic mat there. If you want to add people you need to pay your salary and of course the money will come from your tickets. If you're going up again, you'll be complaining.

2. Facility has a thing. You compare RM2 per head vs RM30 per head. Do you want to expect a toilet like a waterpark gambang? Of course he should give the best amenities. But if 1000 people come out it will be bruised and extinct. Need to maintain it. Do this here, rebeh there. Repair here, it's broken there. We need to understand.

I am personally grateful for the place that I love like this waterfall patching is well maintained by private people like this.

I don't think the state government can help. If the state government really wants to promote this place, it's been a long time since we've had a nice way into this place But the truth is now we are sharing the quarry road from me until I am old.

So what we have now we need to promote and take care of. Kuantan this is a lot of things. Only these 2-3 places are available. So don't ruin the reputation of this place and management too much.

If we think we can do better without charge, try to fight at Pahang forest office. Ask for the waterfall that you manage. See how people like me can go there for free no need to pay but standard toilet gambang waterpark and then clear the garbage every time.. ork?

Because of shallow water, watch this video:
