Ashton's first voluntary work

We (Papa, Mummy and Ashton) became volunteers to deliver lunch to some elderly this morning. It was an eye opener to Ashton although he probably does not fully understand. We went to the Bendemeer, Whampoa area where there are rental and older HDB flats. Even though some of these have been upgraded by the government, the flats were typically small, spartan and the corridors were dark.

I wondered how Ashton felt if he could understand. Here he was asking us for a new Thomas & Friends toyset for christmas, there were some elderly who despite toiling when they were young, were either too poor or too weak to get food for themselves now. Most of the time, we were sheltered from seeing those living on the brink and tend to be unhappy over minor things. We thank God for giving us this opportunity to thank him for his blessings and providence. Amen!
