SGB Collection Day @ Clementi area on 28/11/2009
On the day of collection, didn’t have a high expectation
on the amount of food packs that we are going to collect.
We (people from sector B) started
our collection at around 10.15am
the amount of food packs we collected before lunch
was not very happening but we didn’t get dis-hearted.
In fact, when we are waiting for our lunch,
a provision shop uncle donated
10 packets of 5kg rice and a carton of can food.
Was really happy and thankful to the uncle.
After lunch, we continue collection at the other blocks.
I remember there’s one aunty
keep telling me that she forgotten
that there’s food packs collection today
and she keep apologizing about it.
Knowing that she have a heart to help
I am really happy about it.
Although she forgotten about it,
she can still go and buy it later and contact us to get the food packs
so I gave her the flyers that we have prepared
that have the contact number of some of us.
Other than that, there’s one aunty donated a food packs
with other individual items and 10 packets of 5kg rice.
Really appreciate the aunty for donating so many items.
In addition, I remember Kenny told us
about a grandmother with her grandson.
The grandmother walk over feeling apologetic for
not being able to contribute food packs
because she doesn’t have the ability to give one.
When I heard that, I was really touched!
Sometimes, I really do not understand why
when those who have the ability to contribute
but they do not want to and on the other hand,
those that wish to does not have the ability to do so.
But still, it’s not the amount of things contributed that matters
it is the heart that counts.
Even though one does not have the ability to help,
but if you have the heart, it’s already enough=D
Helping out in the collection day is a
GREAT and MEANINGFUL experience.
When somebody donated a food pack
or even just a small item,
you will feel a sense of happiness and
a smile will just be put on your face unknowingly.
