Today it is a meaningful day for me. Ah Vic, Ah Wan, Ying Xiang and me went to help out at flag day as a volunteers. We report at Jurong East Mrt station at 8am and each of us is given a donation tin. Our job are to give a chance for public to donate to Muhammadiyah Welfare Home (MWH). At the beginning, we walked together but soon we are separated. Ying Xiang and I, each of us occupy a bus stop whereas the others, i am not sure about their location. Occupying at the bus stop for 2 hours and 30 minutes, i had encountered a different feeling compared to last year, Secondary 4 flag day. Approaching the people waiting for bus or alighting from the bus stop or taxi, they are generous with their money although it may be coins which it can reach to the lowest amount of 10-cents. First scenario: I approached a school boy along the way to the bus-stop, asking whether do he want to donate. He has rejected me. Since he has rejected me, i went to the bus-stop and standing near to a convenience shop. But coincident, he went to buy a drink at convenience shop and just a blink of eye, he is standing in front of me! His hand hold a dollar coin and he put it into my donation tin. Second scenario: We had an eye contact. Thus, i approached this young lady, probably 20 to 30 plus years old and asked her the same question; "Hi miss, do you want to donate?" Her first word that came out of her mouth is " What is this donation/charity for?" I explained to her about the information of MWH; "It provide care and protection for young children and young adults, and their age are range from 10 to 16 years old.", " they come from disadvantaged family background such as low-income families or low achievers sub-culture." and "we hope to raise fund to hit the target of S$1 million dollars". After hearing it, she took out a ten dollar note from her wallet and place it into the donation tin. Wow, she surprised me! She is the first one who donated such a huge amount. Before she leave, she said to me, " Do your best! " This is my first time hearing such a heart-warming sentence in my community service of flag day. Third scenario: A teenager and some of the adults donated all the coins they had it with them and the sum can reach to a minimum of $2. Whatever reasons they have, probably wish to reduce the load of their pockets or wallet, i still consider as their thoughts are counted. At 10.30am, four of us met together. We had a short conversation before Ah Vic and I decided to go to Clementi Bus-stop whereas the remaining went to IMM. Reaching clementi bus-stop, i saw my girlfriend's male friend and had a short conversation about our modules before he went up to the bus. And i didn't forget asking him to donate. I teaches Ah Vic on the tactics on approaching the public at the Clementi Mall bus-stop. After seeing her getting comfortable with the surrounding or rather a bit of it, i left her alone and went to the opposite side of the bus-stop. I went to approach the public who are waiting for bus but it is not effective. Thus, i changed my location to where escalator is which link up from Clementi bus-stop and Clementi Mrt Station. This is better even though there are not much people donating compared to the location at Jurong East bus-stop. I believe either the public are rushing for their bus or train, or need me to approach them. Oh ya, I want to praise those people who took initiative to donate. Fourth scenario: The details are the same as second scenario except this lady is around 40 plus years old. Fifth scenario: A elderly probably 70 plus years old had donated although she has financial difficulty and ailment. Sixth scenario: A father who have dysfunctional gave his son a dollar and asked him to donate. It is so awesome because he is able to take initiative compared to some of the public who have everything including what the father does not have. Seventh scenario: A Ngee Ann student who are in the same year as me took the initiative to donate even though i do not know her. We had a short conversation. For example, what course are you from? It is my pleasure to meet her. I hope i could meet her again. :) At 1pm, we report back to the venue to return our donation tin and signing off before Ah Vic and I went for lunch at Jurong Point- PepperLunch. I would like to express my gratitude to the public who had donated to MWH. Regardless of the amounts you has donated and whether you take initiative or i approach you, your kindness has touch my heart even though it took a second for me to know you. For the public who didn't do it, try to make the effort to help those people who are voluntarily in flag day. They have to stand at least a few hours to try engaging all of you to donate for a good cause. You can start to make a difference to the needy by donating a small amount; five, ten or twenty cents. |
Goodbye.
