Reflections

How did you contribute?
Ok, well.
I was not in any group.
I just helped out, but i did go to give out flyers to raise money.
Also, I sold the postcards at Wesley Methodist Church.
:D

How did it make you feel?
How did it make me feel? Hmmm.
It was kind of meaningful?
Since I also had nothing to during the December holidays,
I thought I would just help out.
It was interesting.
I did go to a family's home with Wilson's group.
I somehow feel lucky?
That my family is VERY stable compared to that particular family.

What left the deepest impression on you during the project?
Deepest impression...
I will say the same thing,
cos I only went once.
I always see volunteers helping needy families on TV.
And you will feel touched maybe, for a while, and the next moment,
you forget everything.
But to me, that one experience was really meaningful.
Maybe I will not forget it for my entire life?

What touched you most?
It was the spirit that the family had.
They had a son which is disabled.
I don't know how to describe his condition,
so let's just take it as 'disabled'.
Okay. If my wife gave birth to a son like him,
I really won't know what to do.
Well, maybe I will abandon him?
But the father and mother of that child never gave up.
They raised him up till he is so old.
And I strongly believe that was really really difficult to raise a kid like that.
I really admire that.
So well.
Some people are just fortunate like us.
And some are not.
