After buying all that we think is a necessity for them, we set out with 3 cars to this old folks home
It was one of those meaningful deed that we can do for the needy and what was more worthwhile is that we did it with our families.
When i reach there,
The surroundings is quite liveable i should say...
With some good facilities
They even have lanterns for Mooncake festival...
But what i want to say is that, the place lack of one thing... CARE
Though the ppl there live in a considerable neat areas but the place is COLD...
There is no WARM there...
What they need besides a roof over their head is care... If not from their own family, it should come from the society...
I just don't know how to express the feelings, i think you should feel the same if you are there yourself... The mix feeling of both sad for the old ppl there and feeling blessed for having a family that warms your soul...
You should see how their face lit up when they saw group of ppl visiting and talk to them...
It doesn't how much time and money you have spent because it's all worthwhile when you see the smile on their face...
I entered this room, home to two of immobilised occupants there...
It really touched me when i see this scene,
She is mentally incapable, but she kept nodding her head thanking us..
And this picture, i just felt so sad that i felt like crying but i have to take this picture to show it to all of you...
She is bedriddened and blind... i don't know how long she have been there but i was there 2 years ago and she was already there...
I just cannot bear looking any longer... it's really terrible anybody should ever have this fate..
I hope if there is really a great force out there that governs the natural world pls protect this lady...
These are the places where they stay...
It is a comforting to see that they have to neat surrounding to stay in...
If music can heal the soul, this uncle certainly knows the remedy...
If anyone of you have any spare clothes or household items that you think you can donate pls do so... Or you can recycle some stuffs
To sum it up, i want to say that, before we look somewhere far like Africa or other third world countries where ppl are suffering and need help, we should look at our own backyard where there are a lot of ppl that need our attention and care...
CHARITY STARTS AT HOME....
