When I was a kid, about the age of five, I had big dreams.
Like really really BIG.
I used to think zoo keepers was cool.
Not this Zoo Keeper.
The real kinda zoo keeper.
You know, like Steve Irwin from The Crocodile Hunter?
I know Steve Irwin isn't a zoo keeper but you get my drift..
It is beyond me how, but Steve Irwin appears macho in the mind of a five year old.
Maybe it's the Aussie slang and how he says 'beauuutiful' all the time.
Back to the zoo keeper ambition,
I wanted to live with the giraffes and elephants.
Please correct me, is the right term a zoo keeper..? or zoologist?
Anyway, my point is, that I wanted to be with the animals of all kinds.
To live with nature.
I wanna bathe with the elephants.
Crawl with the sloths.
Swim with the penguins.
Ride on a sea lions.
Like every other kid, naturally, dreams, don't last long.
( I fear an elephant would trod on me with is huge wide feet )
My dream swerved into a different direction.
My dreams were still what you say..Huge?
I wanted to make poverty history.
Do you know,
about 25,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes.
This is one person every three and a half seconds.
Unfortunately, it is children who die most often.
Knowing that there are kids my age or younger, sleeping under a filthy bridge,
makes me squirm with guilt.
Seeing these kids,
I am somewhat disgusted by people who rather spend thousands on their dog,
which in return sleeps all day.
I told myself,
Someday, when I earn BIG bucks,
enough for myself and to support my uncontrollable spending habit.
I want to support the kids who live in poverty.
I will not, turn my head and ignore the donation boxes scattered in shopping malls.
I will not pretend to be suddenly interested in a dull conversation when volunteers come up to me asking for donation.
I will donate, very generously too.
I am inspired by Angelina Jolie to adopt a child.
The celebrity that adopted Maddox, Zahara, and Pax and Shiloh.
Remember,
poverty never takes a holiday.
People are clinging on to the very last twinkle of hope with the simple intention of catching another glimpse of tomorrow.
We are their hope.

Hello =)
Steve Irwin has passed away, so he should be refered to as "...the late Steve Irwin.
and
Zoologists are more to research and zookeepers are more to care takers of a specified animal or more. =)
and
Nice pictures, would love to see how you would crawl with a sloth.
I can crawl! Really...I'm small enough to go unnoticed :P
