Contributing an affordable sum of money, no matter how much for donation and spending a little time with those in need of love and affection will neither shorten one's life nor make one any poorer. In fact, it will enrich one's soul and inspiration.
Do you know that most of the homes in Malaysia do not receive sufficient funds from the Government to defray their day to day operational expenses? From paying medical to utility bills, transportation fuel charges to daily groceries and food purchases, most of the home expenses are supported largely by donation from kind hearted Samaritans.
In true spirit, I salute the founders and caretakers of these homes who devote their own time and money to set up these shelters
shelters to help the unfortunate and at the same time, working round the clock to raise funds, manage the homes' expenses and making sure that the children's welfare are not compromised by the many external challenges faced by these homes. Their worries never end. Who will like the job of caring for the handicappers? Not even these children's own parents I must say as this is the main reason for them ending up in these homes in the first place. This job really requires the person to have a "BIG HEART" as this is not just one, but many unfortunate children under one roof.For that reason, ordinary people like us are encouraged to do our part, by sparing some time to visit those who eagerly await visitors and give some donation whether in cash or in kind to help ease off some of the homes' burdens. As the saying in Bahasa Malaysia goes: "Sikit-sikit, lama-lama menjadi bukit". In direct translation means: "Adding little by little and in time it will accumulate to become a mountain"
Similar to Mother Teresa's quote ~ "We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop".
I believe by lending a hand to help, a ear to listen and moment to share, it will not only help us to a achieve a more balanced life but also strengthen our mind, body and soul.
