BLOGGER Dr Angelo Nino M. Santos brought his eight-year-old son to
visit three children’s homes so that the little boy would appreciate
what he had in his life.
“My son Antonio Gabriel was so excited to come.
“He packed his old toys and clothes to be donated to the children here,” he said while at Ramakrishna Orphanage in Scotland Road, Penang.
The visit was in conjunction with the ‘Responsible Blogging 2013: Time To Give Back’ programme.
A total of 40 bloggers visited Rama-krishna Orphanage, Children’s Pro- tection Society and Shan Children’s Home to give away food and other items.
The programme was organised by Crowdpot Sdn Bhd, a social media marketing company.
Crowdpot director Leslie Loh said they planned to help educate bloggers about safe blogging and to achieve one million ‘responsible actions’.
“For example, if each blogger who posted about this event in his or her blog receives about 100 comments, we consider that we have generated responsible action,” he explained.
Dr Angelo, 36, a lecturer at the Allianze University College of Medical Sciences, said it was the first time he was taking part in such a programme.
He said he started blogging in 2007 and his blog mainly focuses on the 3Fs — family, food and fun.
Also present was Penang Health, Welfare, Caring Society and Environment Committee chairman Phee Boon Poh.
Loh said Crowdpot was also giving away prizes for those who helped to blog about the homes.
“The prizes include three iPad Minis sponsored by Crowdpot and six Ninetology Black Pearl 2 dual-core Android smartphones sponsored by Ninetology Malaysia,” he said.
The contest is until March 23.

The Korean Peninsula was colonized and ruled by the Empire of Japan from 1910 until the end of World War II. Following the surrender of the Empire of Japan in September 1945, American administrators divided the peninsula along the 38th parallel, with U.S. military forces occupying the southern half and Soviet (Russian) military forces occupying the northern half.
ReplyDeleteOn June 25, 1950, North Korea tried to unify the South when some 75,000 soldiers from the North Korean People’s Army poured across the 38th parallel line defeating the South Korean forces. This invasion was the first military action of the Cold War. By July, American troops entered the war with North Korea.
China intervened when American military forces invaded North Korea up to China's borders. China pushed US forces back to the 38th parallel again.
Some warned, the Korean War became World War III. In July 1953, the Korean War came to an end (cease fire only, technically still at war) In all, some 5 million soldiers and civilians lost their lives during the war. The Korean peninsula is still divided today.
Korean War is a Korean internal unification issue, unfortunately has been internationalized in politics of divided and ruled!
North Korea proposed a Peace Treaty but it was rejected by USA as Americans only interested in regime change and economic sanctions against the north. The nuclear tests by the North are defensive nature and for survival sake.
