Tonight was a raining night. It was also a special night as our coordinator, Frau Koh is going with us too. Because of the rain, we waited quite a long time for the bus. around 8.05pm, we got to squeezed in a bus to University LRT Station. We took the train to Pasar Seni and walked to the assemble point. Fortunately, we are not too late, we reached there and they just start to brief all the volunteers. I first introduced our route's leader, Miss Syera to Frau Koh. She is a nice, friendly and helpful young lady that always lead us Route A which are from the assemble point to the Masjid Negara.
Finally, we started to walked to Masjid Negara. This time, we got to get quite a number of rice, bananas and waters than the last few times. This was because the number of volunteers today is very less as it was raining. So, we walked to Masjid Negara without hesitating about the weather and condition because our mission is to feed the homeless. Cannot denied that it was stink and sticky walking under the rain. But is was not so bad when you are walking together with your friends. It was definitely a good and memorable experience.
When we reached Masjid Negara, the numbers of homeless there is lesser than usual. Masjid Negara was a open place without shelter or cover. So, most of the homeless was hiding under the shelter and we only can deliver the food to them without a chance to talk to. After giving out the food, we stood aside with umbrellas while waiting for the Muslim to go up to the Mosque and distribute the food to the homeless that have a shelter up there. As that was a holy place for Muslim, Chinese is not allowed to go up. So we waited at the usual place. After the food was all distributed, we does not waste anytime to head back to our assemble point as it was still raining.
After that, we head back to our kk by lrt. The last bus from UM Central to our kk9 are went off too , so we considered to grab back to our kk9.
It was a toughful night despite of the uncertainty of the weather, We are all stinky, wet and feeling uncomfortable. But to me, it was a meaningful food distribution day as no matter how hard the condition is, we still got to help the homeless. Yes, I am stinky, wet and feeling uncomfortable but i got to bath and clean up myself in my dorm. But to the helpless, they could only wait for the rain to stop under a small shelter and maybe some of them have not eaten yet. So it is very important for us to deliver food for them no matter what uncertainty that are because they need our help.
