Taiwan: Explosion Relief

Last week in Kaohsiung, the second largest city in Taiwan, there was a gas leak which led to explosions that killed 30 people, injured more than 400 people, and left many others homeless. Eyewitnesses reported collapsed buildings, fireballs in the sky, and flames reaching up to 15m high. 

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said that the purpose of life is to be useful, honourable, and compassionate. What constitutes living a meaningful life is subjective but to me, it is to do good and have good intentions, to not hesitate to extend help, to have compassion for those in need. It means being someone who will hold hands with you while you're strong and pull you back up when you are weak. 

Let's extend an international helping hand. Even though we can't replace what they've lost, we can definitely help them to recover. I'm going back to Taiwan tomorrow and I really hope to be able to bring support!!
