We are super lucky it is only raining here in Manila. In other parts of the world (in Asia rather), there are so many things happening. The cyclone in Myanmar, then more recently the earthquake in China. Both disasters with so many casualties, just being safe and alive makes you feel blessed.
Blessed enough to give? See below intereseting stats on donations to victims of recent tragedies I saw on freakonomics.com:
1. Asian Tsunami (Dec. 2004)
220,000 deaths
$1.92 billion
2. Hurricane Katrina (Aug. 2005)
1,577 deaths
$5.3 billion
3. Pakistan Earthquake (Oct. 2005)
73,000 deaths
$0.15 billion ($150 million)
Makes you think...Hoping good comes out from these bad situations.
