How the Charity Worked

This is a story which I've not witnessed, which I'm not involved with, but definitely I was part of. I was very optimistic to give alms to the needy beggars last December, but I was only able to distribute blankets and warm clothings during the second week. Luckily my story inspired donors to give more donations: 3 bagful of clothing and 1 sack of rice. It was more than enough for a month's distribution this January.

But I became busy, that it was idiotic of me to use it as an excuse.

It was mama's idea to give the donations to the Columban church since she's a member of the collector's guild (manang ng simbahan). She said that everyday, the church people face problems of providing alms to beggars who take refuge in their sanctuary. Logically, the chuch would be the place to go to during spiritual and physical hunger. That's why churches should always be open 24/7 which I totally agree with.

I was happy to hear from mama that the donations, which she and Jody delivered under the donor name IDESS IT Inc., were very much appreciated by the church. The church is actually hoping to have a long-term regular donations in the future.

My satisfaction of being involved with the charity work may not have been fully met, but I was happy that the purpose was achieved.

To all donors, thank you. I believe that seeing someone else needy, wearing your used clothes or using the gifts that you gave, is enough blessing to make you smile. Until the next charity works then.
