Ed. Jornal - Poverty - Houseless shelter

It’s Sunday morning, joined with my resistant assistant and some other people in our building to the women & children’s homeless shelter, serving the breakfast. (So lucky to have a faithful brother as R.A.)
“There are 300 people in this homeless shelter and there are another 500 in the waiting list.” The manager of the shelter told us.
When we got there, people were already lied up out of the shelter. Then we signed up as with a volunteering card, went to the top of the building and started serving the food.
I thought I was prepared, but I overestimated myself.
Thanks for a lady coming to me. She returned the two eggs: "I don't eat egg. Please keep it for other people."

Wake up...houseless people are just people, same like all of us but different in the experiences and opportunities. I came to serve, not to struggle with my own thought.

Though I till can't understand Children in homeless shelter, will keep serving every first Sunday.
Hope there will be some related organization to help those children getting what they deserve.


BTW, their breakfast is really good: 2 eggs, muffin, bread, smash potato, bread, ham...
