So the LOOPies had a meet-up with Refuge for the Refugees (RFTR) guys to discuss about our first project with them.
We were chilling at Starbucks while waiting for them, catching up with each other and chit chatting. And then a group of youngsters barged in! They looked so young and energetic! #old-me
And then they introduced themselves and started telling us how they founded Refuge for the Refugees (RFTR). Good news is that they are trying to go NGO! Hope they can sort it out asap and they can start expanding the cause to other institutions.
Anyway, the discussion went AWESOME! Everybody was giving their input, the RFTR guys were doing their best to give us the context and help us understand what can or cannot be done. I really admire what they are doing. Get this, they don't just give all the big talks but not work done. They actually go around to settle things and make something out of nothing! And they devotedly volunteer themselves in Chin's Education Center and teach the kids EVERY WEEK. Seriously man..what the hell I was doing when I was 18?! Definitely not this!
Some of us adult (#okay.jpg have to admit la what to do) go through so many phases of life, strive for excellent grade, try to involve ourselves in school activities to learn soft skills, just so one day we can offer what we have to the society one day. And they just skipped all these phases and go directly to contributing for a good cause, though they are only 18 and are freshmen in college.
I realised when we bow down less to the reality, we are one step closer to our dream. If only we take a break from all the things we were SUPPOSED to do, like getting good grades, getting a soul sucking but pays damn well's job etc etc, and focus on why we are here on Earth, maybe..just maybe, your little break could help a group of people in need.
So dear readers, if you are interested in lending a helping hand (in ANY way, even just sharing their page or message!) to this group of inspiring young people with their good cause, please join us in the League of Ordinary People (LOOP) or their group, Refuge for the Refugees (RFTR). Do follow us on our Twitter to virtually join in our discussion and share our thoughts! Come join don't shy shy!
