FROM HOMELESS TO HAVING A HOME; FROM RUBBISH TO EARNINGS.

Many have taken to the streets for various reasons. They live in uncertainty. They live by the minute, from minute to minute. I was surprised to see the people in this video and their reasons to leave their homes.



Then help came in the form of certain samaritans. They are homeless no more.




I came to know about the extent of Malaysian Chinese volunteers who gathered and recycled things that went to the bin and converting it into money to be donated to Chinese temples, when a patient who occupied the bed next to my wife in the general hospital narrated her involvement in this programme some time back.

Getting a cue from her, I suggested in our Amudha Surabhi (AS) Whatsapp group that we too could take up this venture and donate the revenue towards AS's fund that goes into feeding and purchasing groceries. Sharmanan and Sharmila took up the idea and were the first couple to donate their collection towards the fund.

In this following video I was amazed to see an organization go big scale in recycling items for their charitable programmes. 



Be grateful you have a home and a family to go back to; be grateful you have friends to keep you company in your moments of need; be grateful for the food laid out at your dining table; be grateful for being able to doze off into a deep slumber; be grateful for the many dresses and shoes you could buy for yourself; be grateful for your eyesight and vision to see things clearly; be grateful for a healthy and fit body - you came hale and healthy, make sure it stays that way.
