Street Feeding with Air Asia @ Kuala Lumpur

While you are complaining that the food in front of you is 'sucky', there are children who are crying for another scoop of porridge...just for one more scoop.

While you are deriding that person with that 'entry level' branded bag, some are searching the dustbins for torn bags to repair so that their children can carry books to school.

As cliche as it may sound, we won't know how blessed we are until we meet them. As we curse the rainy day for drenching us but still having a hot shower that we can turn on, we will never know how it feels like living on the streets. If you feel the pain of keeping afloat in the rat race, imagine survival for them, keeping track of every ringgit. And when health issues come visiting, they surrender to the humanity of the public.

Every person you see on the streets has a story of their own

Our guests that evening are just like you and I- want nice clothes, want comfortable house, want nice car and never want to be hungry. But what makes us feel entitled to so much more than them? Did we work harder? Did we study more? Is it because we were born with better looks? Or were they born with just that simple, explainable lack of luck?

Air Asia did a wonderful job in helping NGO Need to Feed the Need to reach out to the less fortunate in Kuala Lumpur. Meals, goody bags, hair cut and manicure were offered to alleviate, in any way, their struggles to make ends meet. You will never know how your warm smile or friendly handshake can strengthen their faith in life again.

If you are a believer that fate is in your hands. I believe, you cannot truely control everything in life. Every one strived at one point of their life. Every one tried their best in life to live better. Being part of the urban poor is definitely not their aim. Yes, people make decisions in their lives and repercussions come out of them. We think we can make better decisions and plans but in the end, we will never know how we will end up in the future too.

Until you see them with your own eyes, you will continue to take life for granted

This is my aim in life, said on one ever. We will never know how we end up in the future too
