Today we visited the Tusong Center, the children were so
happy to see us, they were singing at the top of their lungs & express their
happiness by dancing, in order to
welcome us. The Tzu-Chings very soon joined the sing-along, and also adding in
some of the song we learnt from Tzu Chi as well as some sign languages,
unfortunately the support group who were suppose to be there to meet us were
absent.
Today’s session focuses on “Giving”, to be able to share
what you have, is a privilege. We showed the children the act of giving, by
handing only some of them sweets, so that the children with sweets can share
what they have to others, everyone felt really warm in heart afterward.
On the same day, we also visited Limitile Primary School.
One of the personnel Miss Hlatshwayo invited us to visit an area called “Mkhukhwini”,
which in our language, describes how the area was build:
There are total of 10 family all live in this small area,
although today when we visited, there were only 1 family present, the others
are not available for further interview, but from what we can gather, the 10
families living here don’t have any electricity nor toilet facility, the only
water source is from a distanced river, at the very moment, we have decided to
give them 5 bags of Taiwan Rice so that they can temporary be feed, and we will
take this case back to our meeting, in order to see if we are able / how can we
in future to assist them further.
