"It doesn’t take alot to smile, but sometimes in life, things happen and our smiles get stolen from us.
We frown, we tear, even weep… but just find it hard to smile again.
I’m glad I made this trip down to Pingdong, Taiwan just to be with the students from Qingye Primary.
Singing with them, dancing among the kids, sharing
life and struggles, encouraging and being encouraged back…
These simple acts, and carefree moments, they slowed down the pace of life, made me reflect, and helped me grow…
Some of these kids had family taken from them, homes destroyed around them due to the 88 Taiwan flood in 2009.
Seeing them smile again… all my life struggles, the stress, the good and the not so good, suddenly fades away, all the hard work becomes worthwhile…"
To give, it is a very simple thing. To give from the bottom of your heart, it really depends on individuals.
Creating smiles is the reason that I set my mind to join CSC initially and continue to stay on. =D
JJ's post really brings a smile to my face because that is what I always look forward to when I go to THES. =D
