Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Many times when I see a needy person on the roadside, I feel like helping them in someway but this always remains in the thoughts and could never turn it into action. Donno what stops me from taking that one step further to extend my helping hand to those people whom I could have surely helped.

After signing to Helpothers.org, I have changed a bit :) I made up my mind to utilize any opportunity to do something small but beautiful thing to help someone in need.

On a sunday evening, I was out with my kid and wife, spending our time enjoying playing in garden and going to temple and eating ice cream. This is sort of our every week routine as I get little time with my child. There as we parked our car and stopped to have icecream and other stuff, a poor girl comes close to our car and knocks the window asking for some money. Normally I would have not given her any attention, nor money or may be would have asked her to move on. But this time, I just did the opposite. I saw her and immediately felt like feeding her with some good food. May be something that we were eating, may be she would have also wanted to have such stuff in her but have no means to buy them.

I got down from car, went to buy two plates of same snacks that we were eating and gave it to her. She would have not expected this from me. She would have thought at max I would pull out a coin from my pocket and give it to her. After giving her food to eat, I felt my heart got its food. :) That feeling of content, satisfaction, goodness, I felt that in heart and that was the first time I guess I did something kind.
