Even though my Mission to teach Ong Boy was accomplished successfully weeks ago, i still do visit the Home once every 2 weeks to catch up with the folks there and to give Ong Boy a lesson or two about cycling my old bicycle. This time around, i visited him with something special - a diwali hamper which was delivered to my home :)
This guy behaves just like a kid. Hehe. I told him to go share it with his friends, before he ran off with it :)
The past months have gone by and i have tried to teach Ong how to ride this bicycle, although i can admit that i have only managed to accomplish a 40% success rate in teaching him how to ride this bicycle on his own. My presence yesterday at the home brought more joy and happiness which was clearly visible in Ong compared to the very first time i step foot into this shelter.
Although I was painstakingly informed about the theft of my precious bicycle, but nevertheless the hours spent teaching him on this bicycle has indeed made the difference itself as clearly seen when i visited him yesterday. This shows that he enjoys my company more than just the lessons itself, something most members of charity homes and shelters are deprived off - attention and also love.
For me, to share the joy with these unfortunate members of this home for the mentally challenged and handicapped is something i really enjoy doing and gives me the motivation to grow even more successful so that i can further contribute back to the society. Thanks to the Truly Loving Company for providing me this platform to develop myself. I hope there are many more out there who choose to give back to the society instead of just taking - the people needs you.
