4th Street Feeders of KL

It was the fourth times we, German Department went to join the food distribution of Street Feeders of KL. Everything was so familiar to us. As usual, we took bus to the LRT Station and took train to Pasar Seni. Next, heads to the assemble point. We followed the same route which are Route A to Masjid Negara. We walked to Masjid Negara after briefing and collecting the foods in our hand. Miss Syera, our female leader today was not here with us. Left only the male leaders. But it was easy to take care everyone because there are not many firstcomers.

When we reached there, Masjid Negara is extremely bright that day as we heard that the respective department has installed a few new and bright lamp post there few days ago. With clear weather and a new look of Masjid Negara there, all of us are extra motivated. We started to distribute the foods to the homeless there as usual and the numbers of homeless today was quite alot mainly because of the good weather. 

We got to chat with a 'pak cik' and a Chinese Uncle today. Started with light conversations, we chatted about 'how was today?', ' how are you feeling today?' and so on. He seems a little bit shy when a few of us surrounding him and started to chat. So, after around 10 minutes, he said he wants to go to the health services to do a small check up. After that, we also walked away and we saw the Chinese Uncle who we usually talked to. As usual , we asked him how he have been and how was his days. Also, he only get to remember a few of our faces. Haha. 

After 35 minutes, we are asked to gather at aside and we have a small sharing session. The male leader started to share out the reasons why we have to walk such a far distance instead of driving a food truck and just distribute to the homeless. He said that walking to Masjid Negara is very important and meaningful. Without us, the homeless could have not get the foods. And because of us, carrying the foods and waters all the way until we passed the food to the homeless, purely because of that the homeless not only get the foods but also the heart of caring that brings to them. To let them know that, there are still people care of them. So, the journey is very meaningful. I felt warmed when I heard that , that is a compliment to all of us that we really get to help them and we are really doing something worthing our time and sweats.
