I love going to amusement center inside the mall here in the philippines. Everyday I go there alone. Street children who live near that mall often go there to watch other people playing and lucky enough to be given a token for them to play the machines themselves. I'm always lucky to win more than enough token in one play so I will share some of the tokens to the children. I can always see their thankful eyes looking at me and their happy faces when they see me coming inside the shop. I never realized that I have made friends with all these children and that they are treating me now as their older sister. That's what i heard from one of the crew in that amusement center.

It was great of you to do that ma'am. I live in the Philippines as well and I have seen what you are talking about. It is great that you share what you have won to the less fortunate even if it is just a little amount. The expressions on their faces are priceless. More power to what you are doing! I haven't had an experience like yours yet but I know the feeling of trying to help these children through our community service.
