GG service learning

I miss being a kid, truly and really! Last saturday, i volunteered to help out with songs and a play for the Generasi Gemilang Service Learning for underprivileged kids in Sri Pantai with some friends, and it was GREAT!

there was dancing

and singing..

 And the play was absolutely adorable, im so glad that my friends decided to help out! They were all terrific.

the story of tortoise and the hare with a twist!

cute rabbit chooi ting!

 The best part was when we broke into small groups and interacted with the kids! And Edward and i got 3 cool boys; Shazwan, Aniq and Hisham.

Hisham the quiet n creative one.

Aniq the youngest and cutest!

Shazwan, the talkative, Bruno Mars' fan!

 When we were doing the craftwork, the 11 year old Shazwan told me if he had a handphone, he would have lots of Bruno Mars' songs in it. I misheard that and i thought he has one, so i asked him to let me see it. But he said, "No i don't have one, but i wish i had." Aniq then added that he wished he had a game-thingy. (couldn't remember if it was playstation or something similar) That really tugged my heartstrings, and i told them they can buy it when they're working one day.

I look at myself and the people around me, and realized how lucky we are. To be spoon fed with computers, handphones and whatever we want from our parents. Some rich kids even have i phones at the age of 6. Yet, we always complain, we always want more. We are never satisfied. We should be thankful for the numerous blessings in our lives, and learn to give more, to be a blessing to someone in need. A Saturday morning spent sleeping or facebooking would be a waste, when you could give hope and brighten up someone's day. And that is so true because Shazwan asked me, "Will you guys be coming back?" When i said yes, he smiled and shouted "YES!"

Who knew such a simple comment from a little boy could speak volumes.
