have you ever seen an old beggars along the street asking pennies maybe to sustain their daily needs as for foods and any other necessities to survive a living in this planet? i cannot stop myself to pity them and give any coins from my pocket or wallet. i will utter a word in my mind with a teary - eyed, that what kind of persons are they during their younger years and are they having children or relatives at the moment. if so, why here in the midst of the sun, asking alms? at their age, they should be resting and enjoying the rest of their lives. you know what, lemme share this experience with my sister. that time, we went to the mall, and we saw an old man selling brooms made of coconut leaves (there is a thin stick if leaves being removed). me and my sister are heartbroken that time seeing the staggering old man standing in the front of the mall offering his products. we hurriedly get inside the establishments and bought bottle of water and two sio-pao (bread with meat stuff) to give to him. as we going out to give him the foods, he was out of nowhere, we find here anywhere and gladly we caught him at the carenderia(restaurant) ordering one rice and soup without too much stuff on it for his lunch. i almost cried with what i saw. so we gave him what we bought inside and handed him a hundred pesos. we saw a big smile in her face and he was so happy and grateful about it. it is one of my greatest dreams to help those who are in needs but i am in a shortage in terms of financial as of now. i hope someday i can have my own charity house to help other people, if being given a chance to do that. what about you, did you saw or passed your presence to that kind of person? :)
