Weeks ago, me and my friends volunteered to help in a very meaningful event called the Pertiwi Soup Kitchen food distribution event through the Welfare And Charity Keen Youth Society(W.A.C.K.Y.) of our college. It was actually a collaboration between the Pertiwi Soup Kitchen and the Rotary Club of Selangor to help the needy whom sometimes struggle to make ends meet in order to let them have a warm and nourishing meal for 3 days in a week regularly. Our task is actually very easy, we just need to help them distribute the prepared food for people whom are facing poverty and the homeless city dwellers in different stations. We go to a road in KL, I think it is Jalan Chow Kit perhaps and then headed to Kota Raya before going back to my apartment.
This is the first time where I realized that there are so many poor
people living in this big city of KL. I suddenly realized that are so
many people in this world whom are desperate and can barely earn enough
to sustain their families' expenses. Everyday, they kept worrying of
their family's rice bowls and their children's education fees while we
may worry about whether we can score well in our next test or whether we
managed to complete some insignificant tasks when compared with them that
need not matter life and money.
We should stop grumbling and worrying
about not important things but rather be grateful of our personal
conditions if we need not worry about what to eat and how do we have to live everyday. Instead, we should live everyday as happy and positive as possible because we are meant to live like that. We should also try to help others whom needed our help sincerely and spontaneously without hoping others to repay our kindness. May the angelic wings of kindness grow in your heart. :)
