Some people are born lucky and some are not. There are times I wished that I was able to help the unfortunate people such as the disabled. If you have an average financial, there are still other way of helping them.
I've been supporting a company owned by the members of the organisation of Mouth & Foot Painting Artists (MFPA) for the past 2 years. A very minimum support but sincerely comes from the heart.
MFPA was organised in 1956 and all their members are disabled. However, they have learned to draw and write using their foot or mouth. I respected them as being a disabled, life can be very difficult. Some 'normal' people thought they cannot do anything or even useless. By learning to draw, they managed to have a source of income without having to beg or wait for donations. MFPA offers artworks produced as Calendar, Cards, Bookmarks and other items. MFPA mailed their products to non-specific addresses; means that anybody may received their mails. Then, it's up to you either to buy and pay or return back to them. Honesty plays a main role too! You may also add your orders or buy other items if you wished too.
Some of the artists are Siti Aishah, Ng Ah Kwai, Ismail Rakib, Kam Wai and Chong Keow. They were born without hands. However, Kam Wai was born with palsy cerebrum since small and his hands are paralysed.
