During one of our house visiting to French Road recently, we noticed a large numbers of
elderly gathering together at various spots. We can see them engaging in
very interesting conversations, playing chess, and la kopi together.
When
our volunteers engage in little conversations with them, we realise
they are grinning from ear to ear, subsequently when we bless them with a
little bag of rations, we can see that we have make their day and they
are happier than ever. We come to realise one thing. Not that they are
super poor, but they are super lonely. Every elderly have their own
character, some may not get along with one another, but they definitely
need someone to talk to and accompany them and have a good chat.
With that, we are happy to be able to make their day and let them be happier! This is something that I always wanted to do since young and I m glad that I m able to do it now. Apart from Project Awareness, I also set up another initiative volunteer group, known as Happy People (Click HERE to LIKE the Facebook page), hope to spread more awareness around.
