COME & JOIN HAND WITH LADY GAGA


Dear everyone,

Further to my preceding article on the super quake struck Japan, I like to update you the great news that I had read regarding the Lady Gaga's bold move to launch Japan relief bid, with great delight. This initiative is apart from more than 40 countries pouring in "the necessary help" it needs.

I strongly believe that the rescue team, in red, from China arrived in Japan on Mar 13 will bring their relationships a step closer and its action needs a praise because it shown an excellent example of putting aside their bad experience where millions of its citizens were tortured and killed during the world War II (WWII). Hope this grateful act will help them to build more bridges, rather than walls in line with their common culture virtue of returning good favour. Now, I heard from the media that they are also seeking ways to extend their cooperation in disaster research, prevention and post disaster recovery exercise. This sort of healthy exercise will not only benefit both of them in terms of knowledge and technology, but also help the world to overcome these challenges which may be of a greater magnitude in the future.

Another good news which I like to share is that the Lady Gaga, the top world singer and Canadian teens' idol who needs no introduction, also chip in to launch a bracelet sale to support relief in Japan as top names offered condolences after the mega-quake and tsunami. In this initiative, she asked her legions of fans- whom she calls "Litter Monster" - to buy a bracelet on her website saying, "We Pray For Japan," for donations of US$5 or more. All proceeds from this sale will be channeled to relief efforts, as reported in AFP.  You may click at the title of the post to log into her website and your support is greatly appreciated. 


Should we be seeing more celebrities using their influence in a positive and beneficial way?


As the death toll of this affected area has been increasing since the first day of this mega disaster, we continuously pray that the help and other initiatives will overwhelm the sadness and pains suffered by its victims. In this, we urge that everyone here to observe "one minute silence" to pay our last respects to those dead ones arising from this disaster. Thank you.
