Two days ago, I visited the people in Sungai Gapoi.
Life under the ‘new normal’ is stressful for many of them, particularly for the older generation.
Many have not seen their children for quite some time, who are afraid to come home due to the risks of possibly exposing their elderly parents to covid. Another reason is financial constraints. Some have lost their jobs. Travelling home costs money.
Even with very limited resources, I’m trying my best to help those in need and making sure no one is left behind. I also try to spend as much time as I could to talk and listen to them, particularly the elderly or those living alone. Although I’m sure they are appreciative of the food assistance that we brought, I know they valued the time we spent with them more.
So, keep a lookout for your neighbors, friends, relatives. Spend some time with them if you could.
两天前,我拜访了双溪甲杯的村民。
“新常态”下的生活对他们来说是一种压力,特别是对于老一辈。
许多人已经有一段时间没有见过自己的孩子了。他们的孩子不想让年迈的父母有机会接触病毒。另一个原因是财务约束。有些人失业了,而回家需要用到钱。
即使资源非常有限,我也会尽力为有需要的人提供帮助,并确保没有任何人落在后头。我还尝试用更多的时间来倾听和交流,尤其是老人或独居者。尽管我肯定他们很感谢我们带来的食品援助,但我知道他们很珍惜我们与他们相处的时间。
因此,请多关怀您的邻居,朋友,亲戚。如果可以的话,花点时间陪伴他们。
