“How much is needed and how little I am able to do for them.”
“We distributed slippers to a few, as we were carrying limited pairs. They were happy to receive the colorful slippers.
“They were slowly wearing them as their feet have become hard due to chilly winters and they were very slowly moving their feet to wear a slipper.”
“Being compassionate and Giving are the natural ways of making our soul feel happier of our existence on this earth. So we should always grab the opportunity.”
