i have this sudden idea and urge to materialise and work on something. i got this sudden idea when i was trying to donate to a mosque donation tin, and i was scrambling and searching for some coins in my bag. at that moment i thought why dont i have a coinbag or pouch for these loose changes so it will be easy for me the next time i want to donate something.

i know it can be any other bag or pouch or purse right? but its the concept of always having a pouch with you, separate from your everyday cash that you bring to work or for your groceries, a special bag to remind yourself to always fill it up and always have spare change to be able to donate to the next person who is selling tissues or the next blind uncle singing a great song. i personally have always liked having that chance to donate to whoever i see, but sometimes i dont always have enough cash. and i believe we should always be prepared because there is someone out there who probably need that dollar more. i always put aside some coins (i have a separate piggy bank that i put in any coins leftover for the purpose of one day, i could give it away)

this could also promote charity, i hope, probably a good way to teach children the value of money. or even for us adults to be reminded the significance of donating or the word we always love to use nowadays, infaq or simply ‘derma’ in the malay.

oh gosh, in my mind, i could see those pouches and coin bags, with nice designs such as Charity, sharing is caring, or simply giving and then a nice tag to it to reiterate the concept and purpose of the pouch or bag. i could sew it first maybe? get some nice fabrics and patterns, sew it and sell it? it.could grow into a social enterprise? i could probably commit a portion of the sales for a charity project.

ooh im beginning to love the idea. now. how to materialise it? how do i go about it?
