ReachOut (take 1)
It was a very humbling experience to give back to our community and share the true spirit of Christmas. I can still remember the first few years when our class (4A96 Kong Hua School) started getting together during Christmas break to do something for the kids in our community.
We started by doing the traditional Filipino Christmas caroling going from house to house to raise funds and any gifts for the children. One or two of us doing the guitars, and about 5 or 10 of us *well-gifted* singers worked our voices and gave it our best shot ;) Then the big day came, we cooked the food ourselves and packed and distributed all the giveaways ourselves.
It was such a momentous occasion for us. Every Christmas was an opportunity. An opportunity to not only be together, but be together for something we care about.
It’s such an inspiring thought and seeing friends truly believe in what they are doing for others is just heart-warming. Kudos to ‘ya all!
