Yesterday I attended my wife’s meeting for a program they were running here in our small town in Bansalan. It was a program catered for the poor which will help the government determine what projects would benefit the people and easily segment those data for better accuracy.

And in the meeting I was reminded about what happened last year around December of 2017, where few of the enumerators suggested they will be helping selected households that really needs assistance specially with food supplies.

My wife spearheaded the small event and since I’m a ever supportive husband I helped prepare as well.

We saw the pictures of the families that the enumerators helped and it was so heartbreaking and to be honest my bathroom was bigger than their house.

It was fulfilling and it felt good inside helping someone in need…

We sometimes have second thoughts about giving something of ours and that is because of self preservation. We humans are selfish in nature and that is no longer a surprise to me.

Each one of us has a purpose, you have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.
