I caught a documentary on Channelnewsasia the other day. It was on a real life story of a Singaporean woman who is currently based in Cambodia. She once lived the high life. With a high paying job, she had no qualms of splurging on expensive handbags or other material goods. She was fully immersed in retail therapy.
On one of her trips to Cambodia, she was moved by the plight of the people there. She knew that she could do something to help them in some ways. She started a business making bags and employed some women to work for her. She got by with a much simpler lifestyle. The lives of the women who worked for her have improved with the employment. In the interview, she said that even if her business venture does not turn out well, she would have given these women and their families some form of respite with these months of regular income. I am so inspired by this dear woman's life.
