Reflection...

Today was fantabulous with TRYBE! Listening to the talk about a six year old boy, impacting other's life. And going around the east to so called experience other's life. Get a feel of how is it like to be a rubbish collector, having to inhale those awful smell and stepping into dirty ground at the dumpster. Clearing the tables of hawker centre.

Now I finally really understand how tough life is for those people who so often get looked down on. Rubbish collector always have that garbage smell wherever they go. I remember stepping into a lift that a garbage collector have just stepped out of and how I had to hold my breathe as the lift slowly went up, or I have to smell the horrible smell. In my mind, I pity them but at the same time, I was thinking what a job... I would never be one of them.
As for the cleaners who took up the responsibility to unsure that all tables are cleared so that people could just sit down and enjoy their meals, I thought that their job was neverending. You clear one table and find many more waiting to be cleared. And after clearing the second table, you go on to the third one. But still have to make "trips" back from where you started. The clearing just goes on and on.

People who are disabled or are deformed or abnormal, are experiencing even more tough times, with everyone's stare that was not at all needed. I think that these two days of service learning was truly worth the time, energy and effort. It really shows us how blessed we are and that you should at least once, step out of our comfort zone to reach out to whoever who needs our help.

I have in mind to join TRYBE if I am able to manage my time well and cope with so many things. In the future, I would decide to join more organisations or volunteer myself. It doesn't bring me income for my family and I, but it will be worthwhile if you know that you have made a difference in minimum one person's life, and both side will be happy. The Joy Of Giving:)
