PROJECT
Kuala Lumpur, a city with the most dense population in Malaysia with around 1.6 million people living there.
It's a city of opportunity as they say it in Malaysia. The city is prosperous in so many ways. The population has multiple cultures and religions but.......
Little do we know that behind all the glamorous and richness of this prosperous society, there are also people that are barely surviving in the background. The homeless.
As the night light shines on the streets of Kuala Lumpur, the homeless sets foot on the streets of the city and starts going through the night to survive for another day.
These people have kept on reliving this nightmare each and every day of their lives. They have taken criticism, being the rejected ones and some were disowned by their family and friends. They felt as if they weren't a part of the society itself and feel as if they were pests to the rest of the population. As of right now they just want to have the feeling of being accepted.
We as a human being and also part of the community should play the role to help others if possible. Start by reaching out a helping hand to show them that we care.
These people fell in despair and are still engulfed by the feeling of hopelessness. Everyday when they wake up they just hope for some miracle to happen. Even a little would make them happier and that is all the more reason for us to help.
We should show them our qualities as a human and make them feel hopeful again. Being able to make them feel that there is still a meaning for them to live, to feel that they are still a part of our society and being accepted again. The help that we can give may be little but it is for......
the purpose of putting their smiles back to where they belong.
