Dear Nuffnangers
When our co-founders Ming and Timothy heard about a charity organization’s movement to contribute towards the purchase of water pumps to provide fresh water to African villages, they wanted to know more.
It turned out that One Foundation was selling bottles of water at various denominations, RM 50, RM 100, even RM 1,000 to raise money. Two million people a year die from drinking contaminated water and little by little, and we wanted to help end that.
We at Nuffnang were deeply moved by this movement and just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to help provide water to the impoverished people of Africa. On behalf of the Nuffnang Community, Nuffnang Sdn Bhd had recently donated RM1,000 to the Foundation.

lol. thats expensive for bottles of water! but i guess they just want the people to know how much the value of water is for the less fortunate people.

Jayce donated RM1000 too – to Eden Handicap Service Centre.
We really need to help those who needed our help. :D

yeahh, it is pricey.. i dont think it’s a good idea to pay that much [even rm50] for a normal bottle of water even for charity.. not really an effective way to do things, i feel. if perhaps, like i dont know, they went on the streets to actually sell those bottles of water for like, RM5 each which is basically 5 times more than a normal water bought from 7-11, people would buy it. RM5 is small change. but i dont think average people would actually buy a bottle of water for RM1000, even for charity.. it’s novel, yes but is it a GOOD BRILLIANT idea?
i think not.
