Voluntary Work on May 28

June 20th, 2005

We visited a Catholic family with three very young daughters in Sham Shiu Po. When we arrived at their house, only the two daughters and their grandmother were present. The eldest daughter didn’t arrive until an hour and a half later. For the meantime, Joey and Chris taught the two of them in various subjects to prepare them for their examinations in school the following week. Felix and Holvert prepared games that they were going to play after they finish studying. When the most-awaited moment arrived, we heard the voice of the eldest daughter at the door. She has just arrived with her mother. The games started without delay. They enjoyed every game we played, especially the game called “Cobbler, Cobbler”. When it was time to go, the grandmother invited us to stay for lunch. Despite her insistence, we politely told her not to bother. We were only too aware of how much work we would cause the 60 plus year-old woman just to prepare food to feed the four of us.
