MDS on Channel Suria February, 2010 @ Suria Channel
Early this year, we sponsered a child some drum lessons to fulfil his childhood dream of becoming a drummer. His family was struggling to make ends meet and could not afford to send him for drum lessons. So... we stepped in.
We were delighted that we could be a blessing to others and bring joy to their lives.
As we watch the video, let's remember the less priviledged amongst us:
