Description

大排檔每周為附近的老人們提供一次免費的粥,讓我體會到當地的居民在盡自己之所能幫助身邊那些需要幫助的人。雖然我的廣東話講的不是很好,只會講一些非常基本的日常用語,但是當地的老人們都十分善解人意,他們會很耐心地傾聽我說的話,這讓我十分感動,也讓我體會到,語言障礙並不是大的問題,只要你有一顆熾熱的心,並且真心去體會他們的需要,真誠地去幫助並關愛他們,他們都會體會到你的心情,並且還會感謝你的。我相信,通過我們的努力,世界一定會更加美好。



其實派粥看似是很簡單,就是朝早派幾個鐘粥給公公婆婆,多花一點錢。但其實背後的心意卻支持李先生一直無私奉獻。雖然他口裏說為自己開心,但試問香港有幾多人做這樣的「傻事」,我希望日後有機會能付出一點去溫暖別人的心,得到那份珍貴的快樂。
