REACH OUT & HUMANITERIAN SERVICE
Reaching out to the less privilege in ways which we think we can extend our hands of help is really very important, all of the humanitarian service really does a lot and also saves a lot of people more than we can imagine, I remembered one certain time at my apartment in school a friend came to my house and while we were sitting inside I decided to prepare something we could eat because we had a lot to gist about and already getting hungry, while preparing the meal, the wife to my landlord sensed I was making something to eat then came inside my space checking what was going on, my friend who was with me got very uncomfortable with the situation I could see clearly.
My landlady said, “ah ah, Miracle, what are you cooking for us?
then I answered, nothing big o…. ma
then she said, I would have really like to taste a little of your food o…. because I’m hungry and my little son too.
Knowing that the food would not be enough for us all, I decided to take 2 uncooked noodles and offered to her so she could go and cook then give her son from it, after she left, my friend said to me, I thought you’re supposed to be a student and only staying here as a tenant to them, I told her I understood all of that, then my friend was concern why I would be the one giving instead of maybe getting a little from them, but I understand that my friend don’t really know the woman and how things moves in the house since she was only a visitor.
Since my stay in the house I have seen her effort and sacrifices she makes for the house, the only fault was the manner which she used in approaching me, but probably she had no other way or do not know how to come direct to ask for help, aside that, I have no issues assisting her since I am in the position to.
My landlady lives in with her family in the husband’s family house which is the house I am also living, I have seen how often times she will deny herself the portion of food meant for so her kid could have enough to eat sometimes and still in that situation she does almost every work in the house, also taking care of her husband’s father with some of his basic needs. It’s very stressful and existing, I could feel for her, after explaining to my friend, she understood what was really going on and also saw how far my little act of support would really go far for her.
In all sense, all I am trying to make clear is that, we all have that power to put smiles on someone’s face, so whenever we find ourselves in that position where we could actually do something no matter how small it might be, we shouldn’t hesitate. This are somethings we actually need in life, loving and caring for each other most especially those moments we’ll need us most, we could really change lives and do a lot of good in the society by extending love, care, and support for each other, God help us all.
Feels great to see that this community is basically channeled to that aspect of reaching out and rendering some these humanitarian services, all thanks to the admin for coming up with something as good as this, God will strengthen us all as we keep on doing good and keeping our minds positive Amen.
