To be honest, I started the project without much expectation. It was regarded more as an obligation than a good deed. And there was this hatred inside me that made me go against the volunteer work. Yet this all change as soon as I saw the little kids.
Prior to the project, I used to teach soccer to little children at my church. It was great, but it also caused a trauma towards little children. They were a reason of frustration for me, for they wouldn’t listen.
One by one, the children sat at their seats. To my disbelief, all of them behaved well and it was a different image than what I had expected. From that, my heart opened to these children and was joyful.
From that point on the volunteer work wasn’t an obligated work and time flew really quickly. After the work was done, I had a feeling in coming again. Overall,seeing these little kids reminded me of my childhood and I learned much through it.
