Our 1st venue is at red hill...by the time we reach their...there were aldy a crowd filled with hungry elderly. Within a quick 10mins of set up, we (i got help ah) unload all the food products, arrange them in order, and each of us given a duty (i distribute fruits^^)
Its heartbreaking, to see all those elderly walking slowly and weakly to grab their food and ang bao. Shortly after the distribution, each of the volunteer was given an add to distribute the food products to those particular elderly who are unable to cum down due to illness or weak legs.
I was given a add to the 11th storey at blk 89 as well as given an info that this particular person is deaf. Wen reach...I open the heavy door to beckon the old lady that we are here to distribute the food. She was so old and weak that she has to struggle to get up and walk over. Heart breaking.....Alex was trying her best to tok to her loudly hopefully she can hear abit. Fruitless...she is totally deaf, and she kant tok properly as well. We waited for the door to be open and carried the food in, place it to her convience. She was very thankful, holding our hands and repeately tryin her best to say 'thank you' properly. I almost cry.
After tat, we make our way to blk 187 @ yew teck ave. This time the crowd was lesser and the food products were reduce by 1/2. However, there were fresh fish and cook meat for the elderly there. Which is nice. I helped to carry the food products and cooked food for this couple of very old ladies who needed a walking stick to balance themselves. On the way back to their house, bth suddenly were attack by asthma. Panic spider...When one of the ''old bird'' volunteer said that this is norm...juz let them walk super slowly. They will be ok...It took a good 20mins to send them bk to thier individual homes, good tin that there were 4 volunteers including me to help them.
The last venue was also Blk 105, bt merah. Reached. The mnt we alight frm the car, we were welcum by an unpleasent smell. However, this didn't stop us from completing our mission. The q was very long this time round. We hurrily unload all the rest of the food products to prevent this elderly frm standin and queing too long. It took a good 15mins b4 everytin was done. By the end of the day...we were all given a token of appreciation, a hand made samui doll by the elderly. How sweet^^
From there, I realise that my life though...now is not bright, bt to compare to this ppl, I m alot more fortunate. Able to run around, enjoy, healthy. For them, some just wish that their abandon kids will cum bk to visit them, some just hope tat they can live for another day, some juz wish tat they can walk better.
I need to work super hard now. For right now, even more i wan my freedom, to contribute my spare time for volunteering. ^^
