BLOGGER Dr Angelo Nino M. Santos brought his eight-year-old son to visit three children’s homes so that the little boy would appreciate what he had in his life.
“My son Antonio Gabriel was so excited to come.
“He packed his old toys and clothes to be donated to the children here,” he said while at Ramakrishna Orphanage in Scotland Road, Penang.
The visit was in conjunction with the ‘Responsible Blogging 2013: Time To Give Back’ programme.
A total of 40 bloggers visited Rama-krishna Orphanage, Children’s Pro- tection Society and Shan Children’s Home to give away food and other items.
The programme was organised by Crowdpot Sdn Bhd, a social media marketing company.
Crowdpot director Leslie Loh said they planned to help educate bloggers about safe blogging and to achieve one million ‘responsible actions’.
“For example, if each blogger who posted about this event in his or her blog receives about 100 comments, we consider that we have generated responsible action,” he explained.
Dr Angelo, 36, a lecturer at the Allianze University College of Medical Sciences, said it was the first time he was taking part in such a programme.
He said he started blogging in 2007 and his blog mainly focuses on the 3Fs — family, food and fun.
Also present was Penang Health, Welfare, Caring Society and Environment Committee chairman Phee Boon Poh.
Loh said Crowdpot was also giving away prizes for those who helped to blog about the homes.
“The prizes include three iPad Minis sponsored by Crowdpot and six Ninetology Black Pearl 2 dual-core Android smartphones sponsored by Ninetology Malaysia,” he said.
The contest is until March 23.
