Be an Angel Campaign Telematch

It was 8am on Labour Day, I went with Calvin for a telematch organized by Beautiful Gate. Beautiful gate is a home for the people on wheels. The program started was from 8am till 11.30pm. We had fun with our new friends on wheels.


What do we call them? People with disabilities? they earn their living on their own by selling newspapers, keropok and crafts in SS2. They are not disable so I'll just call them my friends on wheels. They are equally special like us, they have feelings and they want to have fun like us. They are even more hardworking than us.


This telematch organized to draw in more people from the society to connect with our friends on wheels.

As you know, many of us are living in our own nutshell, not knowing that life can be more amazing and meaningful as we reach out the very end of the world. They are the people we often neglected, cast aside and forgotten. But God by His great love and grace, often lead us back to the very need of life – to remember the forgotten.

Although when I went for the telematch activity, it feels alien to me. I believe many of us do feel that way because our very own nature is far away from selfless. We often look at our circumstances but in fact life is bigger than just our own home, work and progression in the economy and politics. Connecting with the people who are different from us make us feels awkward, but heys, if you try it, your heart will leaps with joy!



My hope for the people is to constantly on the lookout to connect themselves with Nature. Man and Nature cannot be separated but Man and Materials can. All materials are temporary but only love never fails. True love never fails, love that is a blessing and not self seeking. Love, because love cast out fears.
This boy walks with a special support. He too needs more love and attention like us. I notice that many of them, their parents are living elsewhere but they are living in the disable home. But i asked one of them about how she feels living in the disable home, she told me, "I am happy."
