I got a letter from a Nepalese girl, Anjana.
I have been supporting her and her family economically since 2007 through NPO and she is now 7 years old.
I was impressed by the Jewish wisdom "Contribute 10% of your income to others" in 2007 and I thought it must be nice to support a small girl in poor foreign country and communicate with them sometimes. (It's less than 10%)
I sometimes feel like stopping it recently because we spend more money than before, but I hesitated to stop it.
ネパールの女の子から手紙が届きました★
4年ほど前に「ユダヤ人の年収の10%は他人のために使え」という教えにちょっと心を動かされ、「外国の恵まれない女の子の足長おばさんになるのもいいかも」と思って10%には満たないけども寄付を始めました。
最近時々、このお金を志門に使ったら・・・とか思たりするものの、いったん始めるとなんとなくやめづらいですなぁ(^^;)
