REACHING OUT...these pictures speak a thousand words
...thankful enough...
..take my hand...
... hold  me tight,  take me ' HOME' ...
p/s...in the midst of my preparing for the Eid celebration, my mind was put to ponder for the don't haves throughout the world...especially the  deprive young,  innocent souls. Here we are, at home; enjoying the luxury of life and the abundance of food to choose from. DIY menu and the variety of dishes to the many fast food outlets...anything to suit our taste buds. 

On the contrary, poverty in Somalia is far flung. People are dying due to hunger and illness is steeply on the rise. Malnutrition prevails throughout Somalia. The comparatively stronger section of the population have dominated the less privileged and confiscated their agricultural lands. Illness and famine are reigning supreme in Somalia. The reasons behind the Somalian poverty are:
  • Frequent famine and droughts
  • The unfavorable climatic condition
  • The unavailability of fertile soil as the country is situated at the coastal region of Africa.
  • Inadequate literacy.
  • Lack of proper planning in the government sectors
  • Political crisis
To these young innocent souls...whoever you are and wheresoever you may be...May Allah The Almighty bless you all !  My prayers are for you ...reaching out from a distance...

Something to ponder:
"And do not walk upon the earth in arrogance. Indeed, you can never tear the earth (apart), and never can you reach to the mountains in height." (17:37)  "Whatever Allah opens to mankind of mercy, then none can withhold it. And whatever He withholds, then none can release it thereafter. And He is the All Mighty, the All Wise." (35:2)

We are the world - Micheal Jackson

There comes a time
when we need a certain call.
When the world must come together as one.
There are people dying.
Oh it's time to lend a hand to life.
The greatest gift of all.

We can't go on,
pretending day by day,
that someone somwhere will soon make a change.

We are all part of,
God's great big family,
and the truth your love is all we need.

We are the World
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true, we'll make a better day
Just you and I.

Well send them your heart,
so they know that someone cares.
And lives will be stronger and free.
As God has shown us, by turning stone to bread
and so we all must lend a helping hand

We are the World
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
so let's start giving
Oh there's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true, we'll make a better day
Just you and I.

When you're down and out,
there seems no hope at all.
But if you just believe,
there's no way we can fall.
Well, well, well, well let us realize
oh that a change can only come,
when we stand together as one (hey, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

We are the World
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true, we'll make a better day
Just you and I.

Saudara Canang,

Very good, very thoughtful of you and very well interpreted via the song by MJ. Love it and i myself am singing it as i'm typing this ;-)

Well then, sebab itulah jugak rakyat Malaysia kena banyak bersyukur dan lebih tahu menghargai sebuah keamanan dan sedikit kemewahan yang kita kecapi sekarang...Semuanya yang kita kecapi ini sebenarnya adalah ujian yang Allah berikan. Yang pasti, bersyukurlah kerana kita telah dijaga dan dilindungi oleh para perajurit di setiap pelusuk tanah air, siang dan malam, berkorban jiwa dan tenaga agar kita dapat tidur lena dibuai mimpi malam. RESPECT these armed and security forces! For without them our nites would be sleepless and we're in poverty as well!

Sedih melihat kanak2 yang berada didunia yang mengalami peperangan terbiar tanpa makanan yang mencukupi dan pendidikan yang baik. Macam mana masa depan mereka??? Inilah yang mewujudkan entiti keganasan dan dendam kepada dunia yang melancarkan perang sehingga mereka dipinggirkan dari dunia yang aman. Semoga Allah melindungi Malaysia

Saudara Canang,

Yes...setuju. Semuanya ini perlu dijadikan iktibar dan sandaran bagi rakyat M'sia untuk bersatu dan berdamai. Doa berpanajangan untuk kesejahteraan M'sia bersama saudara Canang... Amin...mudah2an dimakbulkan doa yang baik dari kita semua.
