the homeless, these people need you!

23rd may 2014
it was my dream came true..
at last, i was able to meet the homeless.. Alhamdulillah,..segala puji hanya bagiNya..

KL..
shopping center, lotsa buildings, plenty of foods, and so many traffic..
but we did not see the other side of it..
dark, sad, and poor....

there were four of us; me, ann, baiti and aini, joining the PERTIWI organization to distribute foods to the homeless around the KL area. you guys can follow this link http://pertiwi.org.my/  and see what they have been up to for the homeless people. they gonna distributing the food for four days in a week; sunday, monday, wednesday, and friday at the same spot of distributions. the homeless will came in and queue up to get their stuff. despite of being 'lost' in the KL jungle for two hours, Alhamdulillah, we manage to meet the PERTIWI team at the Tune Hotel KL and follow them throughout the process.

one of the staffs explained that at some point, there will be around 300++ of homeless lining to get their food at one spot. a lot of mouth to be fed, me - sad =( ...

the above pictures was taken at the TUNE Hotel KL, we arrived kinda late because of 'sesat tahap dahsyat', Thank God we made it too, then we followed them to the area of Central Market, the next pit stop. we were given the chance to help the team preparing  food for the homeless,..

all of us had to set up properly, because sometimes these people can be quite aggressive,yet, because they were all hungry =(.. Alhamdulillah, things went smoothly,.. i can see many faces in the line...

most of them were men, some were just too old, some were sick, also got psychopath, also got the immigrants and women in line .. we've been told that some of them were just the local people who afford to buy food for themselves, but they just lined up as the food were free. For me, this kind of people were just too desperate to get food, yet, living in the big city was never that easy. 

the best part was, when they looked into my eyes and said

'terima kasih'

deep in my heart, :').. i'm happy to help you

too sincere..

they

need

food

some were just annoying, cause too picky of what had given to them

'erm, takde coffeemix ke?'

they were too human,

they have the right to choose

its just they don't have the chance to do so

us

there were also got volunteers-first timer like us ;)..it was nice, sharing thoughts and experiences together with them =)

i had to take the picture 'sorok2' cause want to respect them, maybe they don't like to be pictured. Since the food already finished, we couldn't get to the next pit stop. so we had decided to go back to UPM. 

along the way back, many things get into our mind. everyone should see these people. everyone should take action. first thing in my mind, how was their spiritual condition? do they pray like us? do they take shower? how they sleep? -sad =(.. couldn't do anything much. 

syukur

walaupun kita meminjam 

walaupun hanya menyewa

walaupun hanya menumpang

masih kita punya tempat berteduh, perut berisi, sejadah untuk sujud

terima kasih :')

p/s: youngsters, please, go and meet these people...
