Sharing the grief of victims

Pouring out words of motivation, hope and prayers, caring Malaysians continue to share their grief with the tsunami victims via The Star's SMS campaign, From The Heart, reports The Star.

"The messenger wrote: “My heart runs heavy. Through this message, maybe it can walk steady. The waves took things; it shook up beings. Next time, let's be ready.”

Some 170 messages were received yesterday in the SMS campaign, which will give all proceeds to The Star Earthquake Tsunami Relief Fund.

Sender PAWAN wrote: “If good days didn't last, bad days won't either. Have faith.”

Another contributor, Silver, sent this simple message: “Karma said good things come after bad things goes.”
