On the 22nd March 2018 - Perwakilan Mahasiswa/i Sabah UTM (Permas UTM) has collaborated with UNESCO and 5ETP to organize a charity event whereby there was a total of 37 participants who joined to make it as a successful event. We were asked to gather at 10 p.m at FAB bus stop for registration while waiting for the UTM bus to arrive. As we finally arrived at the location, we divided ourselves into 3 groups. Each group was assigned to different location, finding homeless people and distributing food to them. I was assigned to join the third group, and we went to the mall to find the homeless. Surprisingly, there were a lot of homeless people in that location specifically. It was sad to see, and I do sympathize their condition, it was a really heartwarming feeling when I distributed food to them, some of them did smile and gave their gratitude towards us as they thanked for the food. It was an amazing experience to be honest, and it moved me to be more grateful. It seems that there are far more unfortunate people in this world, and it is unutterably selfish of us to be sad about something that is insignificant like a broken phone or not getting enough sauce in our burgers where there are people who has far worst condition than what we were going through. Hence, I hope that there will be more charity event like this and I would gladly participant in them to ensure that I can contribute some effort in helping them.
Thank you for reading.
See you in the next report.
