Toy Drive for Quake Victims.

     A 7-year old American girl leads a toy drive in You Tube for the quake victims in Negros Oriental. The kid is currently staying in the Philippines because of the film making of the Bourne Legacy flick. Her mom happens to be one of the film personnel in the Hollywood action movie.

     The toy drive seems to be getting a lot of response as many donations have been pouring in from all over the world; some local donations are even given directly at the hotel where the little girl is staying. It's a brilliant idea to give toys to the quake devastated children in Negros Oriental. Most of those kids are from poor families and receiving toys from all over the world would really make them feel a lot better.

     It's nice to know that most kids around the world are still pure , innocent and kind despite our modern, violent and often times uncaring society. Kids are free from racism, hatred and prejudice. A trait that we adults often lack. Yet we pride ourselves as being "mature" people when in truth we pale in comparison to these youngsters.

     I hope that all adults would think more of how we can help others without anything in return just like this beautiful, kind, compassionate girl. But I guess the older humans get, the more we rationalize everything that we do and we usually end up with the wrong and selfish decisions. Good  luck kiddo on your toy drive! May God bless this little girl and all the innocent children in this world.
