Charity should not be boastful, it should come sincerely from the heart. No matter what amount is given, it should always be appreciated. Charity is a virtue and a true act of kindness. The act itself is motivated to help others to be better off. I have always aspire to be someone who is able to help the less fortunate and especially the underprivileged children. My company SaraShantelle has worked closely and contributed to Singapore's Children Society and I have actively helped to give entrepreneurial/career business talks to schools in Singapore as I have always believe in giving back to society and help the local community. Recently, I read a news article which greatly inspires me which I want to share with all of you. My dream would be to be like the local businessman featured in this news.
SINGAPORE: Four Singapore businessmen, including Ho Bee Land Chairman Chua Thian Poh and Valencia football club owner Peter Lim, are on this year's Forbes list of notable Asian philanthropists.
The other Singaporeans among Forbes Asia's 48 "Heroes of Philanthropy" are Nippon Paint Singapore founder, Mr Goh Cheng Liang and Professor Saw Swee Hock, an expert on population and statistics.
Mr Chua Thian Poh, 65, was feted for his contributions to education. Forbes estimates Chua has donated at least US$10 million (S$12.5 million) towards college-level education in Singapore since 2008, focusing on developing entrepreneurs and community leaders.
Mr Peter Lim, 61, known as the "remisier king", donated at least US$16 million over the past six years to sports and education causes.
Mr Goh Cheng Liang, 85, is more closely associated with medical research. His 20-year-old Goh Foundation gave US$40 million to Singapore's National Cancer Centre in March for cancer research and to help set up a proton-beam treatment facility. It had previously donated US$10 million to the Centre and also has assisted education initiatives and other medical projects.
Prof Saw Swee Hock, 83, has given more than US$30 million to universities in Singapore, China, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. His largest reported contribution is US$24 million in 2011 to launch the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Professor Saw and his family made their money by investing in bungalows, in part with an inheritance from his businessman father-in-law, according to Forbes.

Just a few weeks ago, I was sharing with you all, that I'm not just another blogger, I am also a Social Entrepreneur. I have always been doing my part to give back to the society, by supporting my favourite charity organization - Singapore's Children Society. www.SaraShantelle.com.sg donates 10% of all online sales to them. I also volunteer my time, by giving motivational and inspirational entrepreneur talks and speeches to local universities and schools. I share my story, of how an ex-stewardess like me, had big dreams of wanting to become financially free and not be caught in the "Rat Race" forever. But I am nothing compared to these 4 Singaporeans, who have made it onto The Forbes List as Notable Asian Philanthropists.
I am really inspired by these outstanding Singaporeans, that makes a small red dot proud. We may be a tiny little red dot on the world map, but some very charitable individuals are making a difference in our country, and making as so proud to be Singaporeans. They have donated millions of dollars to mainly education and sports. These are the people who makes a difference to our local youths, by building a strong education system in Singapore. I wish to be just as capable as them one day.
P.S: To Mr Chua Thian Poh (Ho Bee Land Chairman): If you were to stumble across my blog (or if someone could tell him) - I just want you to know that I would be really honored to meet you one day. As I do want to inspire youth to be young social entrepreneurs too. I am just at the beginning for my career, but I do hope that I would be just as successful as you. So that I too, can be an outstanding philanthropists on Forbes Magazine one day.
Sara Shantelle Lim's Head Office My Private Room
This is where I hang out most of the time, working through piles of files, documents and paperwork. This is my work place, whereby I squeeze my brain juice out, so that I can hopefully, be on Forbes Magazine one day. Some people may think that I'm being too wishful, or dreamy. But seriously, I'm not going to give up. This is who I am, I want to be financially free, I want to be a full time mother, I want to start up new orphanages, I want to help all the children in Singapore, to live a comfortable life with love and proper education. After all, I have my entire lifetime to work towards my goal.
Everyday, I'm striving.. As the song goes.. "I wanna be a Billionaire, so freaking bad.."
BILLIONAIRE by Bruno Mars
I wanna be a billionaire so freakin' bad
Buy all of the things I never had
I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen.......
Just so you know, I listen to this song, almost every single day, when I'm driving to work.
