Sow the Seeds of LOVE...

In conjunction with the commemoration of yoga's guru, PJ Ananda Marga Yoga Society had organize a charity trip to Taman Megah's Handicapped and Disabled Children's Home to do public services. Members from the Ananda Marga Centre, UTAR Sg. Long’s and UTAR PJ Yoga Society had come along to shower their love to the disabled kids.

Once we (me and ZaBoh) arrived there, we greet the home’s authorities, and then the kids. There were approximately 200 children, ranging from infants till adulthoods. We were told by our yoga instructors to carry them, sing and talk to them to make them feel our love and of course… to be happy seeing us.

I got to know a few of the kids’ names, (Patrick, Ah Fok, Lim, Selina, Vivian, Kah Hao, Vikram, Shamsiah…)which I still remember clearly till now and also their adorable faces. Kah Hao, Vikram, and Shamsiah were the normal kids without any physical disabilities. They stayed at the home to help out the needy kids. We both really had fun chatting and playing with them, especially during the cleaning part, they were so so helpful… As we approach Lim, he was kind of refraining from us when we tried to sing and talk to him. He has speaking and moving disability and is supported by a belt when he sits so that he would not fall off.

Honestly, seeing them in a condition in which even the kids themselves couldn’t do anything independently, tears were falling in my heart. I dare not show my tears because we are here to give them joy, not to feel sorrow along with them. It’s the Love vibration that keeps them living and free from grief!!!

Out of a sudden, I saw ZaBoh’s eyes were filling with tears. I understand she was touched and at the same time, feeling sad when seeing Lim’s facial expression. It was heartbreaking, but still we tried our best to bring happiness to all of them, hoping that they know that there are people out there caring and loving them.

After spending few hours with them, youth members like us were to help to clean up the surrounding area, such as picking up wastes, clear the drain, wash the pond and more. Well, me and za boh did the pond….hehe.. it was fun… and funny thing was that I didn’t know that adding salt in the pond can prevent mosquito from breeding its generation….haha…

It was exhausting cleaning the huge compound…. But it’s worth doing for the sake of providing the children a better environment to live in….. Before leaving, Ananda Marga presented a cheque amounted RM2000 for the home’s welfare, along with daily necessities…..

It was a memorable day, it has painted my life colourfully….
