Unicef
I received an invitation to the Expats Unicef open door from a friend, and went to the event last Monday. To be honest, most of my friends are skeptical about these charity organisations since you don't really see the efforts you give in result in some realistic forms...
But if you don't get involved, you will not know it yourself. The Expats Unicef is a volunteer organisation that assists the Belgium Unicef, so the fund that this Expats Unicef is transferred to Belgium organisation. They deal mostly with English speaking community in Belgium, and most of the activities are run in different subgroups such as: Fundraising, campaigns, editorial materials...etc. So, we can, with our availability to help them with these activities, for instance, help them to work on their website, newsletter, events such as Sport event, pub quiz, dinner dance...to raise money.
This year the main campaign of Unicef is "Children in Conflict" about children in war, but there are many big campaigns to fight Aids in children. Their funds mostly go to Africa and Laos.
Anyway, it's always worth to try ;-), then decide whether to continue or not.
"Seven swords" is out in Europe, makes me remember when I saw it in theater of VN, it's a cool movie, a little bit too dramatic, but I have to say it gives a new breath to the entertainment of China, too. Talking about that the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFFF) is on agenda, I am more interested in some Asian movies, I guess because it relates to the "ghosts" that I used to (and still now) scared of ;-)
BTW, another cool movie, hopefully the new version is still not that bad... Click here
