apa itu GELANDANGAN ?

Since this topic is quite serious, so i write it in formal way..

4/5/2015..

A week before, my friend asked me to join a program conducted by Global Community Club which is 'feeding the homeless'. It will be held around the metropolitan city of Kuala Lumpur.

In the evening, we gathered at Masjid Jamek' hall. A facilitator gave us such a quite briefing on how to outreach and approached this group of people. The first and foremost and the most deep of question he shot to us was 'how many of you have made any research about the homeless in Kuala Lumpur ?' Then, he asked another question, 'what is your objectives to join this such of programme? Do you think you come to visit the zoo and feed the animals? Or what?

Bla bla bla...

At night. We were divided into 5 groups. Each group consisted about 7-8 members. Initially, the groups were not mixed with the opposite gendres. But to make sure the sisters fully protective, so each group must include brothers. Come on la ! If a stranger grab her hand or do anything harmful, how can they withdraw from there?

At about 2245 hours, we started our mission. We walked in group. Haa . By the way, each of us brought a goodies bag contained a mineral water, puding, cream bread and fruit. We walk by the street. Since it was weekend, the street still busy and the night look young.




Our first site visit was about 500 metres from Masjid Jamek. The smell was pungent. When we stopped at that site. Suddenly, a throng of men in different stage of ages approached us. The condition quite havoc. They acted as they had the right on the food we brought. Quite scary. Then our Faci asked us to give some of the food. Not all. Since it is our first spot.

We continued our stride by the roadside in the group. Then we approached one another group of homeless. A few of them just laying their body on a piece of newspaper or boxes. What such a life . My friend said, Nouman Ali Khan mentioned that the since there are still homeless exist, so we are useless.



At night, we can see a lot of people. Some of them were waiting to be given food. Some of them asked for food. Some of them have already much food given by the NGO like us.

We met a chinese woman. Hatchback. Alone. She approached us. She greeted us in such of soothing tone. "How are you ? U come to give food haa ? You go to the UTC. There're a lot of homeless. They do not get the food yet.""ok aunty".then she asked "all of you still study?Be a doctor or nurse?""yes aunty. Doctor also have"

Then, we headed to the UTC. Just like the chinese woman said, there're a lot of people sleep there. We gave them some bread. When one of our member put the bread on an indian woman's bag who was sleeping soundly. Suddenly she barked to us badly. Maybe she thought we wanted to disturb her things. We walked away from that place. Then i saw she continued her sleep. Laidg her head on the bag while holding a wooden stick!!

That's all. It was such a tremendous exprience ! ..
