I conceived this idea only yesterday

I found a way to raise funds for the poor next Christmas.

Forget about packing old clothes, that's just too overrated.

Forget about giving cash in hand, because many people would only give the loose change they have.

I'm thinking of gathering my USJ friends (especially those who are musically inclined), head over to a recording studio, record a good (and I mean good) Christmas album, sell it at market price, and 100% of the proceeds will go to the less fortunate. This won't just be a moment of discovery for me - I'll also get to use my talent to touch others !

I conceived this idea while in church yesterday. When I told dad, I knew he was skeptical of this idea. What's there to be ? If he knows we're a bunch of musically talented people, then he needn't worry - we're using our talents for a good cause.

Well, if Father Patrick Massang did it, we can ! And we're youth, anyway ! Among my friends (the ones I have e-mailed), I'm the eldest of them - I'm now 17. The youngest of them is now 13. Sure, if there're more interested people who're willing to join us, then the age range will change... :)

Two possibilities can arise from this situation :
+ If the demand is low, then the proceeds will go to a charity of our choice.
+ If the demand and sales are high, then we can help as many people as we can !

Now, time to enlist people. Also, I have to figure out a way to promote it - apart from putting the progress on troisnyx* officiel.

I've e-mailed four people in my circle of friends, and it looks like I'll have to revive my Windows Live account just for projects and discussion. But I told them, all e-mails go to my Yahoo ! account.

E-mails hidden for confidentiality.

Those of you who are interested, and are living in Selangor or Kuala Lumpur, kindly leave a comment on this post. If you're already in my contacts, you may very well e-mail me or IM me about it.
