well , , when i was about to get home , , i noticed this little boy riding in the jeepney , , his clothes were dirty and were torn apart , , his face so innocent yet covered with dirt , , he was just sitting there , , staring at nothing , , at that moment , , i do not have food to give , , pity for the little guy , , that's what i felt, , i wanted to help , , but i can't do anything , , :( just looking at the boy's eyes , , i can feel his sadness , , i wonder where are his irresponsible parents , , why they left them out there , , ALONE , ,
it breaks my heart when i see little kids like that , , as much as i wanted to help , , i can't , , HELPLESS , , that's what i felt :(

it's awfull to find yourself in such situations and these are times when one feels most helpless.it's these moments i feel that make you realise that you are in a more fortunate position than the one you are pitying.
i'm sure you can help such needy children.there are many NGOs that work for the cause of such children and they need both volunteer help as well as monetary help..you can see whatever you can do..best of luck!

Sometimes I want to help this kids but sometimes syndicate is using them. Syndicate using them for their own sake they dont want to work but this children works for them. Instead im giving them food instead of money. But somtimes I thought helping them is just tolerating their situation instead of helping them.

All of us can feel like that specially when see our brothers who are poor. Some people says that they cant feel bad everytime they see people like because they are hiding something inside their hearts. Its hard but life is like that some people are poor and some are rich but we can make a change if we start to act now.
