: : project blog 2004 : :

It started with a question from Gette on who was going to blog for 24 hours. So I thought, why not? I missed out on the 2003 Blogathon.

The charity that I'm supporting for 24 hours on July 24, 2004, is Mercy Malaysia. They are a team of volunteers, mostly medical personnel, who provide medical relief to people both within and outside of Malaysia. Their most recent expedition is to the interiors of Sarawak where medical aid is very hard to come by. I remember growing up listening to radio announcements on the flying doctor service. Then there was the Australian series on Flying Doctors in the bushland. Anyway, there are people always in need of medical aid, be it in the form of donations or volunteers.

The date is 24 July 2004, starting 8 a.m. Eastern time. That translates to 24 July 9 p.m. So, hmm... methinks have to take leave on 26 July to catch up on some sleep as the time duration finishes on 25 July 9 p.m. Wena is going to be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO groggy.

If you want to make a donation, you can do so at the project-blog website. However, you will need to have an account there before committing an amount to be sponsored. Read the FAQ here for more information.

As for making the donations, if you feel like sponsoring me, do make an account at this site. Once the event is over, I will nag remind you to make the donation to Mercy Malaysia. You can even donate to them online at their Donation Page.

Right, I'm off to prepare for 24 food dishes for the event. Hopefully I'll have enough photos by then!
