yesterday during lunch break, while i was on my way to buy a v-day card, a guy infront of k-mart stopped me in my tracks. he is a volunteer for amnesty international. he asked me if i know what is the #1 cause of death in asia - which i got correct. my excuse, i'm asian. he also told me that "x" out of "x" women in australia suffer domestic abuse.
with his accent (where he prounounces "R" as "oar" while asking for the spelling of my surname), i only understood 3/4 of what he said, not to mention that he speaks very fast.
by the end of our conversation, i have already pledged a monthly donation of $?? for amnesty international for 2years.
so what is amnesty international? read here -
http://www.amnesty.org.au/i do not regret paying that much (or that little) every month though. i guess that is the same view that i have for paying $?? for the deaf society.
