脑筋急转弯: 给予的喜悦和可持续慈善：菲利波项目

您无需“富有”也可以给予任何人，尤其是陌生人。只需要有同情心和愿意付出。
—— Dickson Idlier

“菲利波项目”是由新加坡弗里根创始人科林·刘发起的。该项目从公共捐助者那里收集可用的小物品(脸谱网“赠送和接受免费物品”组的帖子中的详细信息)或从新加坡不消费者(FIS)垃圾箱潜水那里收集物品，并赠送给新加坡的菲律宾外籍家政工人(FDW)。他们把这些东西装进大纸箱，然后运回他们在菲律宾的家乡。他们要么自己或从捐赠者分担运费。这些运送的物品被送给他们的家人、亲戚或教会成员，因为有些人太穷了，他们连一顿饭也买不起。有些物品也会被转卖用来支付生活必需品的，比如食物、电源等。几乎是零成本和可持续的慈善活动，因为它分发别人不需要或捐赠的物品给穷人，只需要空间，时间和努力去做。听起来像当志愿者，对吗？

收集过程很简单。我聘请了马乔里领导的维萨亚斯小组，并确定了收集日期和时间。我会把我的物品的照片贴出来，这样他们就可以事先知道会发生什么。在实际的一天，他们会来取东西。

我在走廊放了两个垫子。整理和包装我的物品更宽敞、更通风。如果需要的话，我会给你大塑料袋（带拉链）。

包装好物品后，他们通常会吃晚午餐，然后用面包车把东西运到幸运广场的仓库。

BrainTeasers: Joy Of Giving And Sustainable Charity — Filiporean Project

Giving out the stuff to villagers. Image from: Giving and Taking Free Stuff Facebook Group You don’t have to be rich to donate. All it takes is having a little compassion and willingness to give. —— Dickson Idlier The “Filiporean Project” is started by Freegans In Singapore co-founder, Colin Lau. The project collects small usable items (details in posts from “ Giving and Taking Free Stuff “ Facebook Group) from public donors or dumpster-dived stuff from Freegans In Singapore (FIS) and donates to Filipino maids in Singapore. The main reason is shipping cost is cheapest to the Philippines. This project has caught up in the news and media in Singapore, so more donations have been pouring in so the maids (numbered to 300) are kept very busy. Colin saw many usable small items when dumpster-diving around his neighborhood but has no use for them. When he found that Filipino maids wanted these items to bless their family, friends, and neighbors back in their village, he...

IdlierStories: Appreciate Everything You Have Got

Positive Brain Facebook Group A man once telephoned Norman Vincent Peale. He was despondent and told the reverend that he had nothing left to live for. Norman Vincent Peale invited the man over to his office. "Everything is gone, hopeless," the man told him. "I'm living in deepest darkness. In fact, I've lost heart for living altogether." Norman Vincent Peale smiled sympathetically. "Let's take a look at your situation," he said calmly. On a sheet of paper he drew a vertical line down the middle. He suggested that they list on the left side the things the man had lost, and on the right, the things he had left. "You won't need that column on the right side," said the man sadly. "I have nothing left, period." Norman Vincent Peale asked, "When did your wife leave you?" "What do you mean? She hasn't left me. My wife loves me!" "That's great!" said Norman Vincent Peale enthusiastically. ...

BrainTeasers: Better To Live Cheap Under Budget, Than Live Luxuriously In Debt

Desire for a better life gets us more entrapped in the web of desires to overspend. Only by cutting away these threads of desires can we free ourselves and live a less stressful and more rewarding life by spending below our means. —— Dickson Idlier There are two ways to live life: 1. Live in a way that we spend less than we make. 2. Live in a way that spends more than we make. Spending exactly as you make does not happen as emergencies happen all the time, so is still in the second group. People would rationally choose spending less than we make but most don't. In our civilized society, we are constantly bombarded with advertisements promising a better life than you have... if and only if, you are willing to spend to get it. This is so ingrained in our subconscious, from the moment we become sensible, we subtly and unintentionally fall into this trap. Increased income doesn't quench our desires. Offers for better life grow with our income... nicer cars, bigger houses, ...
